EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print from 1568, we are transported back in time to witness the daily routine of a bathhouse proprietor. The image showcases a moment of intimate care and attention as the proprietor delicately removes a flea from one of his patrons. The well-heated establishment is depicted with intricate details, showcasing the interior design elements such as the bathtub, basin, and benches. The mid-renaissance setting is brought to life through the meticulous work of German artist Jost Amman. The proprietor himself exudes an air of authority and expertise, donning a hat and sporting a magnificent beard that adds to his distinguished appearance. Meanwhile, seated on a bench nearby is another customer patiently waiting their turn for some much-needed relaxation. This woodcut offers us glimpses into not only personal hygiene practices but also social interactions during this era. It highlights how even seemingly mundane tasks like removing fleas were given utmost importance by these dedicated workers. Granger Art on Demand has beautifully preserved this historical artwork captured by Granger NYC / The Granger Collection. This print serves as both an educational tool for understanding past cultures and an aesthetic delight for art enthusiasts worldwide.
