EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the elegant Pump Room in Bath during the early 19th century. The image showcases a group of well-known visitors indulging in the healing powers of the mineral water alongside none other than King Bladud himself. The scene is alive with activity as individuals gather around a statue of King Bladud, taking sips from their glasses and engaging in lively conversation. The room exudes an air of sophistication and charm, with its grand interior design and exquisite detailing. The presence of a wheel chair hints at the significance of this location for those seeking medicinal benefits. Bath was renowned for its therapeutic waters, attracting people from far and wide who believed in their healing properties. Isaac Robert Cruikshank's hand-coloured engraving beautifully captures both the historical importance and whimsical nature of this meeting place. His skillful use of cartoon-like elements adds a touch of playfulness to an otherwise serious affair. This print not only serves as a visual reminder of Bath's rich spa heritage but also invites us to imagine ourselves amongst these distinguished guests, partaking in the age-old tradition known as "taking the waters". It is truly a fascinating glimpse into history that reminds us how even kings sought solace within these walls.
