EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two intriguing illustrations from the 18th century, depicting a demi-bain and a bain de siege. Created by the French School in the 18th century, these engravings offer us a glimpse into the innovative world of plumbing and bathing during that era. The first illustration portrays a demi-bain, which was a half-bath commonly used for washing one's lower body. The intricate diagram reveals an ingenious design with pipes and valves, highlighting the advanced plumbing techniques employed at that time. It is fascinating to observe how our ancestors ingeniously engineered such systems for their daily hygiene rituals. The second illustration presents a bain de siege, another type of bath prevalent in the 18th century. This particular design emphasizes comfort as it features an elevated seat within a water-filled basin. The schematic representation allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its functional aspects. These illustrations serve as valuable historical artifacts, shedding light on the advancements made in bathing practices during this period. They remind us of our predecessors' ingenuity and resourcefulness when it came to inventing new ways to improve personal hygiene. Displayed here as part of Bridgeman Images' private collection, this print invites viewers to delve into history while marveling at these remarkable designs from centuries past.
