Friedrich Kallmorgen, Erntezeit / Harvest time (1891). Collection: Staatliche Museen zu Berlin #art #painting #19thcentury #harvest #summer #people #sunshine
Horizon quite high on the painting with blue sky and white clouds above. The wheat field below, in full sun, takes up three quarters of the painting with just a small triangle on the right-hand side between the field and the sky which shows a landscape of trees and fields. The wheat is harvested by a man and a woman. The man is standing and uses a scythe. The woman is bending down and collecting the cut material. They have both rolled up their sleeves. Red poppies are dotted around in the field.

In which Edward Forbes, regrettably, offers advice to the ladies on how to attract a man. He should have stuck to the day job. Obviously, I had to use the all-time-classic ‘unwanted intervention by a man’ image! #19thCentury edwardforbes.net/2026/08/….

#onthisday, 31 August 1885, the #SouthShields Victoria Sea Water Swimming Baths opened with 'a very spacious #TurkishBaths'. After several temporary closures, the company finally closed them c.1915. Later demolished. There were at least three earlier Turkish baths in the town in the 1860s. 🗃️ #C19th
The right-hand side of what appears to be a symmetrical façade is obscured by the parked  open-top tram . The conductor stands with the two horses, while the driver holds the reins.

#onthisday, 30 August 1884, #Southwark engineers Messrs Chandler opened the Central #TurkishBaths in their ex-office in #Newington Causeway. In 1884 a plunge pool "replaced" the women's baths. From 1911, the baths were part of Wm Cooper's Savoy chain. Destroyed (1941) in the London Blitz. 🗃️ #C19th
Advertisement  in the South London Chronicle  (13 Sep 1884) announcing the opening of 'the handomest baths in London' by its manager, Mr W Ching. Ladies day on Wednesday.
Advertisement in the South London Press (18 Oct 1884) announcing the forthcoming installation of a plunge pool in the newly purchased premises next door. Since women only had one day per week bathing and the plunge was in additional space it seems likely that the day was poorly patronised. Few women would have had their own disposable income or been able to  find the time.

Spotted this in some Parliamentary accounts from 1796, does anyone know what this refers to? It's not likely to be the electric telegraph as used in the #C19th given the date? #C18th #Skystorians 🗃️https://hdl.handle.net/2027/chi.099164388?urlappend=%3Bseq=189%3Bownerid=13510798903533148-197

Conrad Martens, View of Sydney Cove (1848). Collection: Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney #art #painting #19thcentury #sea #houses #people #ships #inlet #goats #landscape #Australia
From Bunker’s Hill, of what is now the Rocks where the painter lived, the artist paints a view inspired by the scene seen from his window. In the foreground a youth with a red top and two goats. On the right, on the viewer's side of the water, the tops of some houses can be seen. Between the houses and the youth a few more people and a dog are depicted. On the left, the sea with an inlet leading to the right, behind the houses. Several ships are anchored close to the shore or in the inlet. On the other side of the inlet, a large white building dominates the promontory.

#onthisday, 29 August 1940, the Bon Accord Baths opened in #Aberdeen at a cost of £100,000. It remained open till 2008. Upstairs was a Victorian-style #TurkishBaths suite, with three hot rooms, a cooling-room, plunge pool & showers, a sauna, steam room, medicated baths, & a solarium. +ALT 🗃️ #C19th
Plan of Turkish baths (source unknown). 
Bon Accord Heritage is a registered charity, though it may be better known as the ‘Save Bon Accord Baths’ campaign.
With dedicated support from the local community, they are working toward the restoration and reopening of these historic baths in Aberdeen. Their vision is to breathe new life into the venue as both a community-owned and operated facility. 
To find out how you can help, visit their website https://bonaccordbaths.org.uk/
Wall sign reads "Smoking prohibited in Turkish baths"
