Bain de Saint-Gilles (1883) - Reunion of 3 silver prints, pa - Lot 434
Bain de Saint-Gilles (1883) - Reunion of 3 silver prints, pasted in full on a cardboard support, titled "Bain de St Gilles" and signed, 2 by Ernest Puissant and the 3rd by Georges Henroz (?). Size of the support : (3 x) 35 x 27 cm ; subject : (3 x) 15 x 12 cm. In 1881, at n° 14 of the current rue de la Glacière in Brussels, an open-air swimming pool, the "Bain de Saint-Gilles", was set up. Bought in 1924, it was renamed "Bain Van Schelle" and refurbished in modernist style. An open-air swimming pool in the summer and an ice rink in the winter, the bath benefits from the infrastructures of the nearby ice house, although it is not a dependency of it. The water, maintained at 26° C in summer, came from the condensers of the steam engines used to make ice. In winter, the basin was converted into an ice rink by the establishment of a tubular network that conveyed cold brine from nearby freezers. Abandoned during the Second World War, the bath was bought by the Glacières and destroyed in 1965.
