The Spa Hotel stands in Tunbridge Wells, a town in Kent that grew up around a chalybeate spring, whose iron-rich waters drew visitors from the early 1600s and made the place fashionable as a spa resort. Hotels like this one catered to those seeking cures and a season of genteel leisure. The picture is a photochrom, a color process developed in Switzerland in the 1880s that hand-colored tones over a photographic base. Detroit Publishing Co. issued this view in the United States, and its catalog listing of 1905 shows how such English scenes were marketed to American buyers.
