EDITORS COMMENTS
Greetings from Karlsbad: A Humorous Take on Spa Equipment for the Early 20th Century Man This charming comic postcard, titled "Greetings from Karlsbad," offers a lighthearted and amusing glimpse into the equipment and routines of spa guests during the early 20th century. The image, set against the picturesque backdrop of a European spa town, focuses on the smallest room of the spa experience - the bathroom. In the foreground, a group of portly gentlemen are gathered around a large, ornate porcelain tub, each one equipped with a unique gadget to aid in their health and purification rituals. The man in the center, with a satisfied expression, holds a large, bristled brush, ready to scrub away impurities. Another man, to his left, wields a long-handled potty, while a third man, to his right, balances precariously on a cane, leaning over a roll of toilet paper. The humor in this postcard lies in the exaggerated size and design of the equipment, as well as the amusing poses and expressions of the men. The caption at the bottom reads, "Equipment for Spa Guests," adding to the lighthearted tone of the scene. Despite the comedic elements, it is important to note that the use of such equipment was a common practice during the time, with spas and health resorts promoting detoxification and purification rituals as essential components of overall wellness. This postcard serves as a delightful reminder of the unique and often quirky ways in which people approached health and wellness in the past.
