EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1811, titled "Nude characters in a Filandan sauna" offers a glimpse into the intimate world of Finnish bathing culture during the 19th century. Created by an unknown artist and now part of a private collection, this print showcases the beauty and simplicity of nude figures engaging in the age-old tradition of sauna bathing. The scene depicts several individuals, both men and women, enjoying their time in the Filandan sauna. The artist's attention to detail is evident as each character is delicately engraved with precision. Amidst the steam-filled room, one can observe various activities taking place - some are engaged in conversation while others recline on wooden benches or read books about their journey. The nudity portrayed here serves not only as an artistic choice but also reflects the cultural norms surrounding Finnish saunas at that time. In Finland, communal nudity was embraced as a symbol of equality and purity within these sacred spaces. It allowed individuals to shed societal expectations and embrace their natural state while cleansing both body and mind. Leonard de Selva's photograph captures this historical engraving beautifully, preserving its intricate details for generations to come. As we admire this artwork today, it invites us to reflect on our own relationship with nudity, domesticity, and self-care rituals across different cultures throughout history.
