ABOUT
In the late 1890s the government decided to appoint a balneologist (an expert on medicinal springs) to advise on the development of thermal areas as spas.
The first appointee was Englishman Dr Arthur Stanley Wohlmann, who had worked at the Royal Hospital at Bath. After touring the spas of Europe, Wohlmann arrived in Rotorua in 1902. As well as overseeing development of the spa there, including construction of the Tudor-style bathhouse, he visited and reported on thermal pools around the country.
Illustrated with monochrome images, drawings and diagrams.
