Caryn Chaden's Photographs of Bath
 
 
One of the benefits of studying eighteenth-century Bath is that so many of the buildings remain.  Indeed the city now thrives as a kind of living museum, one of three places in the world (along with Florence and Venice) where the entire city has been named an "International Heritage Site."  Thus along with the buildings, all manner of artifacts from eighteenth-century life remain, housed with the greatest care in numerous Bath museums.  The photographs you see here were taken in the spring of 1997.  They represent the start of what I hope will be a growing library of images of Bath as it is today.  I would like to thank the Museum of Costume in Bath for permission to use images of part of their collection as well as images of the Assembly Rooms.

If you would like to see full-size versions of any of these photographs, click on the image.
