EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and join the lively scene at Malvern Water Cure in 1855, as depicted in this charming photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library. In this image, number 2 of 12 in the series, we see a group of people gathered around a large packing case filled with bottles of Malvern water. The water, believed to have healing properties, had become a popular alternative medicine during the Victorian era. The atmosphere is warm and jolly, with everyone dressed in cosy clothing, wrapped up against the chill. The men wear heavy coats and hats, while the women don shawls and bonnets. They all seem to be in high spirits, chatting and laughing as they prepare to distribute the precious elixir to those in need. The scene is reminiscent of a country fair or a community gathering, with the people working together to ensure that the water is properly packed and ready for distribution. The bottles are carefully wrapped in paper and secured with string, ready to be transported to their destinations. The Malvern Water Cure was a significant part of the history of medical treatment during the 19th century. The water was believed to have therapeutic benefits for a range of ailments, from digestive issues to skin conditions. The water was collected from the natural springs at Malvern Hills in Worcestershire, England, and was transported to various locations around the country. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the history of alternative medicine and the community spirit that surrounded it. It's a reminder of a simpler time, when people came together to support each other and seek out natural remedies for their health concerns. And, of course, it's a reminder that being jolly and having a good time, even when packing water, can make any task seem more enjoyable!
