EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1553, where we find ourselves standing in front of an ancient Roman bath house located in Plombieres, France. This remarkable structure served as a refuge for the poor and sick during that era. The woodcut image beautifully captures the essence of this historical site. As we gaze upon this snapshot from the past, we are transported to a world where daily life was vastly different from our own. In medieval Lorraine, access to proper hygiene and health facilities was limited, particularly for those who were less fortunate. However, within these walls lay a sanctuary for individuals seeking respite from their ailments. The Roman influence is evident through the architectural design of this bath house. It stands as a testament to the grandeur and sophistication of the Roman Empire's engineering prowess. The therapeutic qualities offered by such establishments were highly regarded during Renaissance times. Although it may be tempting to associate this image with commercial use or luxury spas today, it is important to remember its original purpose: providing solace and relief for those in need. This photograph serves as a reminder of how far society has come in terms of public health initiatives and accessibility. Let us appreciate this glimpse into history—a window into an era when even amidst hardship, communities found ways to care for one another's well-being through shared spaces like these ancient Roman bath houses at Plombieres, France.
