EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the late 19th century, showcasing "The Royal Sea-Bathing Infirmary at Margate, enlarged by the Gift of Sir Erasmus Wilson". The image captures the grandeur and architectural beauty of this old building, which served as a haven for patients seeking healing through sea bathing. In the foreground, we see a group of girl patients accompanied by their caregivers. They are dressed in long gowns and bonnets, enjoying a leisurely stroll along the main front. Behind them lies an impressive cloister with intricate arches and columns that lead to various interiors within the infirmary. To the left stands a wing overlooking a central quadrangle where boy patients can be seen engaged in playful activities. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element from the terrace roof to the chapel exudes elegance. Sir Erasmus Wilson's generous gift allowed for this expansion, transforming it into an even more remarkable institution dedicated to providing care and comfort. The engraving beautifully captures both its historical significance and architectural splendor. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time - witnessing not only an extraordinary building but also glimpsing into an era when such institutions were vital for those seeking solace by the sea.
