EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mixed bathing (engraving)" takes us back to 19th century Germany, offering a glimpse into the historical practice of mixed bathing. The engraving, created by an anonymous German artist and now part of a private collection, was originally featured in the Bilder-Atlas zum Conversations-Lexikon. It serves as an illustration for the Ikonographische Encyklopadie der Wissenschaften und Kunste published by Brockhaus in 1849. The image showcases men and women enjoying a refreshing dip in cold water, surrounded by children who seem unfazed by their nakedness. This depiction sheds light on European hygiene practices during that era when communal washing was considered essential for cleanliness and well-being. Despite cultural norms at the time regarding nudity, this engraving challenges societal conventions with its portrayal of both male and female figures baring it all together. It offers insight into German culture and traditions prevalent in northern Germany during that period. With its rich historical context, this artwork invites viewers to reflect on how attitudes towards nudity have evolved over time while reminding us of the importance placed on physical activity through swimming as a sport or leisurely pastime. Whether used for educational purposes or personal appreciation, this print from Bridgeman Images captures a moment frozen in history that continues to intrigue and fascinate today.
