The image invites us to peer inside the arched entrance of this Victorian bathing establishment, revealing a tranquil and refined scene. The water within, though freshly drawn from the ocean, is expertly maintained at a summery temperature by means of steam. The high windows, bathed in natural light, allow the sun's rays to filter in, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Ladies of the time, dressed in their finest swimwear, can be seen relaxing by the poolside, engaged in conversation or simply enjoying the sensation of weightlessness in the water. The Royal Swimming Bath for Ladies was a popular destination for the well-to-do during the 1860s, offering a respite from the bustling city life and an opportunity to partake in the emerging trend of recreational swimming. The baths' sophisticated design, with its arched roof and ornate details, further enhanced the experience, making it a must-visit attraction for the fashionable set.

The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of water and the desire to escape the everyday, a sentiment that remains true to this day.
