EDITORS COMMENTS
Taking the Waters - The First Glass: Nine Gentlemen Embark on their Spa Town Adventure! This charming postcard, circa 1904, captures the essence of a day at the spa for nine dapper gentlemen, each eager to partake in the health-giving properties of the mineral waters. The scene is set in a quaint European spa town, where the gentlemen don their finest hats and suits, ready to indulge in the therapeutic benefits of the waters. As they gather around the ornate fountain, each man reaches for his glass, anticipation etched on their faces. The tenth gentleman, positioned at the base of the card, eagerly awaits their reactions. With a pop and a hiss, bubbles begin to issue forth from the man's glass, hinting at the potential for an unexpected and perhaps unpleasant outcome. The comic expression on the faces of the gentlemen suggests that the first sip has not gone as planned. Thackeray's famous quote, "There is nothing so bad as a cup of horribly tepid water and a piece of dry bread," comes to mind as we imagine the taste and texture of the waters they are about to consume. The vibrant colors of the postcard, from the rich greens of the foliage to the deep blues of the spa waters, add to the whimsical and lighthearted nature of the scene. The gentlemen's hats and canes, as well as the ornate detailing of the fountain, add to the sense of elegance and refinement. Despite the potential for nausea and discomfort, the gentlemen press on, determined to endure the unpleasant taste for the sake of their health and wellbeing. This delightful postcard captures the spirit of camaraderie and perseverance that often accompanies the pursuit of health and vitality.
