EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the early 20th century, we are transported back to the elegant world of an 18th-century lady's morning routine. The image captures a private moment in her chamber as she indulges in the soothing ritual of taking a footbath. With her bare feet immersed in a basin filled with warm water and fragrant petals, she finds solace and relaxation amidst the demands of daily life. However, her peaceful interlude is abruptly interrupted by an unexpected visitor - a suitor who has come calling at an inconvenient time. His presence creates a delightful tension between propriety and desire, as he gazes upon her with admiration while she tries to maintain composure. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into not only personal hygiene practices but also social dynamics during that era. It reminds us that even mundane activities like bathing held significance in terms of cleanliness and maintaining one's appearance. The photograph is part of "Illustrierte Sittengeschichte Vom Mittelalter Bis Zur Gegenwart" a renowned publication by Eduard Fuchs published in 1909. Its inclusion here allows us to appreciate both the artistic value and historical context captured within its pages. Ken Welsh's expert reproduction ensures that this timeless image can be enjoyed for generations to come, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the beauty and intrigue of centuries past without leaving their own modern surroundings.
