EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past and experience the allure of the Turkish Baths in Jermyn Street, London, as depicted in this stunning 1862 photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library. This image offers a rare glimpse into the interior of this historic bathing establishment, providing a window into a bygone era. The Meshlakh, or cooling room, is the focus of this photograph. The room is adorned with intricate geometric patterns, creating an enchanting atmosphere. The large, domed ceiling is a testament to the architectural grandeur of the time, while the ornate columns add an air of sophistication. The bathing experience in Turkish Baths was a popular pastime during the Victorian era, and this photograph provides a fascinating insight into the process. The Meshlakh was the final stage of the bathing ritual, where bathers would rest and cool down after their steam bath and massage. The room was filled with marble benches and large, decorative fountains, which provided a refreshing mist to help bring the body temperature back to normal. The photograph also reveals the practical aspects of the bathing experience. In the foreground, we can see a large, ornate toilet, which was used for personal hygiene before and after the bathing session. The room is also filled with various washing implements, such as basins, pitchers, and towels, which were used during the bathing process. This photograph is a treasure trove of historical detail, offering a unique perspective on the Turkish Baths in Jermyn Street, London, during the 1860s. It invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and sensations of this exotic and luxurious bathing experience, transporting us back in time.
