EDITORS COMMENTS
When the Hot Water Tap Runs Cold: A New Device for Making a Lot out of a Little" In the quirky and ingenious world of Victorian-era inventions, few can rival the simple yet effective solution to the age-old problem of running out of hot water while taking a bath. Courtesy of the Estate of Mrs J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/ILN/Mary Evans, this delightful photograph captures the moment of discovery and amusement as a resourceful bathing enthusiast employs an unconventional yet brilliant contraption to maintain their desired bathing temperature. As the mercury dips and the hot water tap starts to run cold, our intrepid hero reaches for an oversized rubber balloon. With a determined expression, they begin to inflate the balloon, skillfully maneuvering it towards the edge of the tub. Once the balloon is sufficiently full, it is gently placed in the water, displacing the cold water and effectively raising the level of the bath. The caption, "A New Device for Making a Lot out of a Little," encapsulates the inventive spirit of this humorous and practical invention. The image is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the human spirit, as well as a reminder of the simple pleasures and challenges of daily life in a bygone era. This charming photograph, filled with wit and whimsy, is a must-have for anyone with an appreciation for the history of inventions, cleanliness, and the art of bathing. Whether used as a conversation starter, a decorative piece, or a source of inspiration, this image is sure to bring a smile to the face of all who behold it. So, the next time you find yourself facing the disappointment of a cold bath, take a moment to reflect on the resourcefulness of our Victorian forebears and the simple yet effective solution they came up with. And remember, with a little ingenuity and a large rubber balloon, even the smallest amount of hot water can go a long way.
