EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sanitary arrangements, satisfactory" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the history of medicine and health. The engraving showcases an English villa's section elevation, revealing its well-thought-out sanitary facilities. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured in "The Household Physician" by J. M. Gregor-Robertson, published around 1870. It beautifully illustrates the importance placed on proper sanitation during that era. Intriguingly detailed, the engraving highlights two types of closets: the Bramah closet and the washout closet. These innovative designs were considered cutting-edge at the time and played a crucial role in maintaining hygiene standards within households. With its ground plan meticulously depicted, this print provides valuable insights into how people prioritized cleanliness in their homes during this period. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of advancements in medical practices and our understanding of health-related matters. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can appreciate this historical gem today. As we gaze upon it, let us reflect on our ancestors' dedication to improving sanitary conditions for better overall well-being – an essential aspect that continues to shape our lives even now.
