EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past and experience the allure of the Turkish Bath at the Hotel Pompeien in Paris, as captured in this stunning 1858 photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library. The image transports us back in time to an era of opulence and relaxation, where the hustle and bustle of the city outside were momentarily forgotten. The Turkish Bath, also known as a Hamam, was a popular attraction for both locals and tourists in 19th century Paris. This particular bath was located within the Hotel Pompeien, a luxurious establishment that catered to the elite. The photograph reveals the intricately ornate interior of the bathing room, with its colorful tiles, intricate mosaics, and ornate ceiling. The warm, steamy atmosphere is palpable, as bathers can be seen relaxing in the foreground, while others prepare for their wash in the background. The bathing ritual was an essential part of Turkish culture, and this photograph provides a glimpse into the traditional practices of the time. Bathers would first enter the hot room, where they would be scrubbed down with rough mitts to remove dead skin cells. They would then move on to the tepid room to rinse off, and finally, the cold room to close their pores and invigorate their bodies. The photograph also reveals the practical aspects of the Turkish Bath, with a toilet located in the corner of the room. This was a common feature in Turkish Baths, as bathing was not just about relaxation, but also about personal hygiene. This photograph is a fascinating window into the past, offering a glimpse into the history and culture of the Turkish Bath in 19th century Paris. It is a reminder of the importance of taking time for self-care and relaxation, even in the midst of a bustling city.
