EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1870 showcases the intricate inner workings of a Plunge Valve Closet, an innovative invention of the 19th century. The image depicts the handle lifted, offering a glimpse into the fascinating technology behind this revolutionary bathroom fixture. The detailed diagram reveals a pedestal-like structure with a bowl on top, representing the early design of modern toilets. The plumbing system is meticulously illustrated, displaying pipes and pipework that enable efficient water flow for flushing and irrigation purposes. A product of its time, this engraving exemplifies both ingenuity and craftsmanship in its creation. It was originally featured in "A New Technical Educator: An Encyclopedia of Technical Education" published by Cassell during this era. As we admire this historical print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it serves as a reminder of how far our sanitation systems have advanced over the years. This illustration not only celebrates an important invention but also highlights the continuous evolution of design and technology within our everyday lives.
