EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the common spa of the poor and infirm in Plombiere, France, as depicted in a woodcut by Thomas Guinta De Balneis in 1553. The scene is brought to life from Illustrierte Sittengeschichte vom Mittelalter bis zur Gegenwart by Eduard Fuchs, published in 1909. In this historical image, we see a mix of people from different walks of life coming together to partake in the therapeutic waters of the spa. Despite their varying backgrounds and circumstances, they all share a common goal - seeking relief and healing through the restorative powers of the baths. The daily rituals at this public spa offer a glimpse into the customs and habits of 16th-century France. From the sickly seeking solace to the impoverished finding respite, each bather contributes to the vibrant tapestry of communal life at Plombiere. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded that even amidst hardship and adversity, there is unity to be found in shared experiences. The simple act of bathing becomes a unifying force that transcends social barriers and brings individuals together for a moment of collective rejuvenation.
