Summary[edit]

Tinplate bath, Europe, 1801-1900
Title
Tinplate bath, Europe, 1801-1900
Description

During the 1800s, personal hygiene and cleanliness were increasingly considered one way to improve health and prevent the spread of disease. However, very few people had a piped domestic water supply. At best, many people would rely on a bath such as this one, perhaps set up in front of the fire and filled with buckets of water heated from the stove.

It was quite common for a whole family to use the bath one after another – with the water getting progressively dirtier and colder.
