The image takes us back in time to a period when bath houses were not only places of cleanliness but also social hubs for the elite. Stepping into this visual masterpiece, we are transported to a grand Victorian-era establishment where vapour baths and shower rooms coexist harmoniously. The attention to detail is impeccable, capturing every architectural nuance and ornate decoration that adorned these opulent bathing spaces. As we explore further, it becomes evident that these baths catered to both men and women. In particular, the ladies' bath stands out with its graceful ambiance and refined decor. It was here that high society women indulged in luxurious treatments such as douches, immersing themselves in relaxation and rejuvenation. This engraving originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on December 18,1858 – a testament to its historical significance.
