Reproduced from a hand coloured print in the collection of the Victorian Turkish Bath Project. It was originally published as a black and white engraving in the Sydney illustrated news.

 

G E Wigzell established his hair salon in Oxford Street, Sydney, in 1854 and some time later added baths and showers. The Turkish baths, in the smaller adjacent building on the right, opened in 1883 or thereabouts.
