Steam bath, satirical artwork
Steam bath. Satirical artwork showing a woman tending to a man who is enclosed in a steam bath container at a health resort. The enclosure is sealed around his neck, allowing control of the amount of steam and the air temperature around the body. The effects are similar to sitting in a steam room, promoting sweating that is thought to clear the body of toxins. Captioned in both French and German, this artwork is from the book Die Karikatur und Satire in der Medizin (Caricature and Satire in Medicine, 1921) by the German art historian and physician Eugen Hollander (1867-1932). Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Steam Bath" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a satirical glimpse into the world of health resorts. The artwork showcases a woman attentively caring for a man enclosed in a steam bath container, sealed around his neck to control the steam and air temperature surrounding his body. This innovative technique is believed to induce sweating, which was thought to rid the body of toxins. Originally published in Eugen Hollander's book "Die Karikatur und Satire in der Medizin" in 1921, this historical illustration provides an intriguing insight into medicine during that era. With captions presented both in French and German, it highlights the universal appeal of such practices across Europe. The image portrays not only the therapeutic aspect but also offers a satirical twist on traditional spa treatments. It humorously caricatures this particular method of hydrotherapy while shedding light on society's fascination with detoxification rituals at that time. As we observe this piece from our modern perspective, we can appreciate how far medical practices have evolved over time. Yet, it serves as a reminder of our enduring quest for wellness and rejuvenation throughout history.
