21 x 14.5 cm The guestbook of the Hammam has crossed the ages to testify of its visits. Behind a Moorish facade with friezes and columns inspired by moucharabiehs, located at 56 rue des Mathurins, were hidden Turkish baths. Built in 1876 by the architects William Klein and Albert Duclos, these modern thermal baths housed spring water pools, hammam, hydrotherapy, hairdressing salons and tea rooms. At a time when the Orient was fantasized about, the greatest personalities met around this luxurious decor: great politicians, journalists, painters, composers. When we open this notebook, we plunge into this worldly, intellectual and cultivated Paris. True treasures lie in these pages, the portrait of a cabaret dancer by the great Toulouse-Lautrec, scores by the composer Edmond Haraucourt, underwater photographs by Louis Boutan, or poems from the pen of the so-called "refined Parisianism" - Félicien Champsaur. Each page reflects through a pencil stroke, a different personality.
