EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Les gestes du bain - Hygiene au 19th century - bath in a bowl" offers us a glimpse into the daily life and hygiene practices of the 19th century. The image is taken from the renowned French publication "La Sante Universelle - Guide Medical des Familles" dating back to 1852. In this intimate scene, we witness a moment of self-care as a person sits on a stool next to an intricately designed bathtub filled with water. With great attention to detail, the artist captures the gestures involved in this traditional bathing ritual. The individual delicately pours water onto their body using what appears to be a small bowl, ensuring every part is cleansed. This engraving not only provides insight into personal hygiene habits but also sheds light on domestic settings during that era. It reminds us of how different our modern bathrooms are compared to those of our ancestors. This historical artifact serves as a testament to human ingenuity and adaptation throughout time. Preserved within private collections today, this print allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and its significance as an educational tool for understanding past customs and societal norms related to health and cleanliness. As we observe this image, it prompts reflection on how far we have come in terms of bathroom technology while appreciating the timeless importance placed on maintaining good hygiene for overall well-being.
