The card was published some time between 1882 and 1889 while Jonathan Hurn Faulkner had the lease of the White Rock Turkish Baths in Hastings.

Michael Harrison suggested, in his book In the footsteps of Sherlock Holmes (2nd ed. David & Charles, 1971 p.19) that Holmes popped in to Faulkner's hotel in Villiers Street from time to time for a Turkish bath. However, as this card shows, Faulkner's only London Turkish bath at  this time was in Newgate Street. Rather more of a Watsonian than a Sherlockian deduction there, Michael!
