Diagonal Bathtub Is Revolutionary

THE introduction of a new diagonal bathtub marks the first major change in bathtub design since the first installation in 1841.

Though the new tub is but four feet square, it has just as much room for bathing as the rectangular tubs. The bathing recess extends diagonally across the corners, with two seats in opposite corners. Mothers can sit comfortably while bathing children. The seat in the rear is very convenient to use while taking a shower. All plumbing is concealed under the rim.

  1. I wonder if in 80 years it will seem this funny and “well, duh” when people come across old articles about how revolutionary the iPhone (or insert any technology, really) was.

  2. What surprises me is that they drew a naked man instead of a woman in a skimpy bathing suit.

  3. We have that style of tub in our old farmhouse, I would like to replace it with one with a better finish, I don’t think they make them anymore.
