TURKISH BATHS IN JERMYN-STREET: THE MESHLAKH, OR COOLING-ROOM 1862. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Turkish baths in Jermyn-street, [London]: the meshlakh, or cooling-room 1862. '...from the designs and under the professional superintendence of Mr. J. Somers Clarke. [View of] the meshlakh or apodyterium, looking towards the entrance. A portion of the plunge bath is in the immediate foreground. Right and left are low, perforated balustrades, dividing the apartment into compartments, so that, while having an uninterrupted view of all around, perfect privacy is still preserved. To the left, in the distance, is the cawahjie's, or coffee-man's, department, with his small fireplace in the comer; to the right we see the shelves for the linen and cupboards for the boots and shoes of the bathers. The latticed gallery over the entrance-doors is arranged with couches to be used by bathers frequenting the private bath...the striking and sparkling lightness and airiness produced by the perforated spandrils and fretwork in the roof, the gallery, and elsewhere carry us back to the days of our pilgrimage in Egypt. It is easy to trace the Eastern sources whence the architect has drawn his general inspiration for the whole subject, and it has been admirably worked out, with singular felicity of adaptation, in a restricted space'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862. Turkish baths in Jermyn-street: the meshlakh, or cooling-room 1862. Creator: Unknown. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)

The Metropolitian Baths - the Ladies' Bath, 1858. '...there has scarcely existed in the metropolis [ie London] a convenient bathing establishment; most of the baths...being notoriously incommodious, and extensive only in their tariffs of charges... [However] a company has established...and placed under the effective management of Mr. H. Mahomed, son of the celebrated Brighton regisseur des bains, a luxuriously-appointed system of baths, [called] the Metropolitan...When we add that the attendants are civil, active, and skilful - that Mr. Mahomed himself superintends the arrangements of the gentlemen's department, while Mrs. Mahomed administers those of the ladies' - that the terms are really moderate, and the accommodation such as must satisfy the most fastidious - we think we have said enough to induce our readers...to patronise the Metropolitan Baths. We [describe] them thus fully because they appear to us to supply a deficiency that has long been felt, and are calculated to be a source of comfort to the invalid as well as of pleasure to the healthy...We may state, however, that the ladies' and gentlemen's departments are entirely distinct, and have separate entrances - the former at 71 Jermyn-street, and the latter at 24 Bury-street'.

THE METROPOLITIAN BATHS - THE VAPOUR BATH, 1858. 'THE ELEGANCE OF A WELL-APPOINTED DRESSING-ROOM HAS BEEN IMPORTED INTO EVERY BATH-ROOM, WHICH SHINES RESPLENDENT WITH MIRRORS, MARBLE, AND MAHOGANY. MANY OF THE APPLIANCES ARE EXCEEDINGLY INGENIOUS...IF YOU
The Metropolitian Baths - the Vapour Bath, 1858. 'The elegance of a well-appointed dressing-room has been imported into every bath-room, which shines resplendent with mirrors, marble, and mahogany. Many of the appliances are exceedingly ingenious...if you take a warm bath, you can preserve its heat without...being scalded...because each bath is supplied from a cistern where hot and cold water are duly blended, and maintained at an unvarying temperature. The towels are kept in little cupboards warmed by hot-air pipes...The vapour-bath - we describe it for the benefit of the uninitiated - is a perforated platform forming the base of a sort of iron cage, which, when the patient is seated, is carefully enveloped in a flannel shrouding to prevent the escape of vapour. To this shroud or canopy are affixed several flannel sleeves, or leggings...through which may be extended a limb or two if you wish to undergo a little shampooing. Pipes run under the platform, and send up a delightful medicated vapour, the fragrance of healthful rosemary, which the patient inhales with intense complacency, until the attendant cries "Hold, enough!" when he may, if he chooses, plunge into the cold bath in the corner...and afterwards rise a renovated and rejuvenated man', From "Illustrated London News", 1858.

THE METROPOLITIAN BATHS - THE DOUCHE AND SHOWER BATH ROOM, 1858. '...THERE HAS SCARCELY EXISTED IN THE METROPOLIS [IE LONDON] A CONVENIENT BATHING ESTABLISHMENT [HOWEVER]...A COMPANY HAS ESTABLISHED...AND PLACED UNDER THE EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF MR. H. MA
The Metropolitian Baths - the Douche and Shower Bath Room, 1858. '...there has scarcely existed in the metropolis [ie London] a convenient bathing establishment [however]...a company has established...and placed under the effective management of Mr. H. Mahomed, son of the celebrated Brighton regisseur des bains, a luxuriously-appointed system of baths, [called] the Metropolitan. Whether you are healthy or ailing...here you may refresh your mind, renovate your energies, soothe your excitable temperament, dispel your hypochondriac fancies, or render hardier and more active the already hardy and active frame. You may subject yourself to medicated vapours, deliciously and subtly fragrant, which will purify your blood and invigorate your system, or bring down upon any offending limb the thud of the douche; or be kneaded - we mean shampooed - with Indian oils; or try experiments with a warm shower or a cold shower, Russian or Turkish, Vichy, Barege, or Harrogate. You may he sulphurised, and steamed, and odised. Hot air or hot water, medicated vapour, or medicated water - you may take your own choice, or follow your physician's instructions, and be eternally indebted to the skill of Mr. Mahomed and the liberality of the Metropolitan Baths Company'.
