#onthisday, 30 November 1868, a Dr Smith opened #TurkishBaths in #Brisbane on Albert St between Adelaide and Ann Streets. Smith soon went bust, & baths bought by Ebenezer Lethem who rebuilt them as shown in much later image. Lethem & Bird (1894 onwards) both ignored actual foundation date. 🗃️ #C19th

#onthisday, 28 November 1867, 13 days after George Coggan opened #TurkishBaths in Commercial Rd #SheptonMallet, Mr Rumsey opened others only 3 mins walk away in High St. Had he lost a race to open 1st, or just thought his were better? We'll never know, but his baths lasted less than 2 yrs. 🗃️ #C19th

My great grandparents c. 1890. The backdrops were standard in photography studios. They were hand painted using a 3-D 'Trompe-l'œil' effect (French for 'deceive the eye'). Grecian columns, urns, tropical plants were considered objects of the bourgeoisie.

And somewhere there, possibly just at the extreme left of the painting, was the celebrated #TurkishBaths, at what was then number 11, Leinster Street, where James Joyce's Leopold Bloom had a warm bath, not having time for a Turkish one. www.victorianturkishbath.…. 🗃️ #C19th
