EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Thomas Rowlandson captures a humorous and slightly scandalous scene from the 19th century. Titled "Shower Bath: women taking a cold shower in a bathroom hiding their modesty from a male intruder" the print depicts a group of women attempting to maintain their privacy while bathing. In this comical portrayal, the women are shown huddled together, strategically covering themselves with towels and curtains as they try to shield their modesty from an unexpected male visitor. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the delicate aquatint work by J. C. Stadler, bringing life and vibrancy to each character. The image is taken from Poetical Sketches of Scarborough, published by Ackermann in London in 1813. It offers us a glimpse into the social norms and attitudes towards hygiene during that time period. The print also reflects on themes of morality and propriety, highlighting society's obsession with preserving female modesty. This piece not only showcases Rowlandson's talent for caricature but also provides insight into British culture and customs of the era. It serves as both historical documentation and entertainment, reminding us of how societal values have evolved over time. Overall, this intriguing artwork invites viewers to ponder upon notions of privacy, gender dynamics, and cultural perspectives surrounding personal hygiene in 19th-century England.
