Step into a world where history, design, and unexpected creativity converge—Wild Bathtubs is an extraordinary exploration of the humble bathtub and its surprising journey through time. From a modified cattle watering trough becoming a bathtub, being brought into the house, and then being released again to the fields, this captivating book traces the evolution of bathtubs as domestic fixtures, rural phenomena, and cultural icons.
Discover how cast-iron tubs revolutionized house design, why clawfoot bathtubs became symbols of opulence, and how old tubs found new life as cattle troughs dotting the rural landscapes of Ireland. Rich with fun facts, quirky anecdotes, and vivid imagery, Wild Bathtubs blends academic insight with a playful narrative that delights and informs.
