1878 Arkansas Bathing Cabin Greeting Hot Springs Pool Poverty Shed South East Spring Indigent Invalid Thermal
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1878 in Hot Springs, Arkansas. The image showcases a scene from a bygone era, where poverty-stricken individuals sought solace and respite at the Pool of Siloam. A simple shed was erected over a hot spring, providing shelter for those who could not afford better accommodations. In this snapshot of history, we see tents scattered around Ral on Hot Springs Mountain, highlighting the makeshift homes of these indigent campers. Despite their challenging circumstances, there is an air of resilience and community spirit among them. The wood engraving technique used to capture this moment adds depth and texture to the image. It beautifully portrays the rustic cabin nestled amidst nature's bounty - a stark contrast to the luxurious spas that would later define Hot Springs. This artwork serves as a reminder of how far society has come in terms of accessibility and inclusivity when it comes to thermal springs. It sheds light on an often overlooked aspect of American history - one that highlights both struggle and survival. As we gaze upon this photograph print from Granger Art on Demand, we are transported back in time; witnessing firsthand the hardships faced by our ancestors while also appreciating their resourcefulness and determination.
