EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Curative uses of water" showcases a 19th-century German School's depiction of the therapeutic properties of water. The artwork, part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for Anna Fischer's book "La Femme, Medecin du Foyer" around 1900. The image portrays the significance of cleanliness and hygiene in promoting good health, particularly among women. It highlights the role of water in various curative practices such as bathing and showering. A bedridden patient is shown receiving ablutions while surrounded by hygienic furniture and bedding. The scene reflects the medical advancements and understanding prevalent during that era. It symbolizes how water was considered an essential element in medical science, healthcare services, and physical well-being. The influence of German culture on these practices is evident through references to Asklepios (the Greek god associated with healing) and Baden (a city known for its thermal baths). Through this artwork, we glimpse into a time when water played a vital role in treating illnesses and maintaining overall health. The image also hints at the importance placed on sportsmanship and swimming as forms of physical activity during that period. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this historical piece from their Fine Art Finder collection, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and its representation of past beliefs surrounding curative uses of water.
