A Glimpse into the History of Read In The Bathtub Day

The tradition of reading in the bath might trace back to the Roman Empire around 500 B.C., when Romans, who were ardent fans of baths, lavishly adorned their bathing spaces with scrolls, transforming them into cozy libraries. This luxurious practice was not only about indulgence but also an economic strategy to consolidate expenses. After the Roman Empire’s decline, the Dark Ages saw a decline in bathing habits, with people resorting to natural water bodies and perfumes. However, the tradition eventually resurfaced and continues to this day.

In 1873, John Michael Kohler joined forces with Jacob Vollrath and another partner to establish a factory focusing on iron and steel products. A decade later, Kohler revolutionized bathing by crafting the first modern bathtub from an enamel-coated cast-iron horse trough with four ornate legs. The introduction of vibrant bathroom features by The Crane Company in 1928 brought a splash of color that we enjoy today. With the bathtub’s inviting structure, it became the ideal place to unwind with a book. However, the challenge remains—water and paper are not the best of friends, making reading in the bath a slightly risky affair. To avoid mishaps, consider using a bath tray or caddy to hold your book or electronic device safely. For those enjoying the digital age’s conveniences, online reading has surged, but exercise caution with electronic devices in the bath. Create a DIY waterproof case by slipping your device into a plastic zipper bag or invest in a waterproof case available online or at electronics stores.
