THE RAMSGATE STATION OF THE EAST KENT (LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER) RAILWAY, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The Ramsgate Station of the East Kent (London, Chatham, and Dover) Railway, 1864. 'View of the new station at...Ramsgate...recently built by Messrs. Peto and Betts from the designs of Mr. John Newton...Our readers will observe that this illustration closely resembles Mr. Frith's celebrated picture of "The Ramsgate Sands" in most respects...[apart from] the new railway station [which] is seen immediately beneath the cliff...No more prominent example of the new fashion of carrying railways into the very heart of a town could possibly be found...It is proposed to make a refreshment-room at the station, which...will provide articles of light refection both for those who travel by the railway and for the many hundreds of persons who crowd the sands below daily during the bathing season...The direct line...connecting London with the towns of Margate, Broadstairs, and Ramsgate...has been largely patronised by the public in consequence of its providing a shorter route from the metropolis to those places by from seventeen to twenty-seven miles over any previously established system...by means of this new railway three of the most popular seaside resorts are opened up to Londoners under peculiarly favourable circumstances'.

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)
