Not as quaint as a claw foot...

  According to several descriptions I've read, this is the type bathtub in which Marat met his end.  His actual bathtub ended up in Musee Grevin - a wax museum in Paris.  I bought this 1941 photo on eBay and plan to hang it in my freshly-painted bathroom.  Ben Franklin brought one of these copper lined behemoths back from Paris to Philadelphia, according to notes on the back of the picture.
