I am not that ancient and used to take a bath in a tub of rain water when I stayed at mamaws. They didn't have running water till right before they passed. So they caught rain in tubs and strained the water for bathing.

Not necessarily what he's doing in this photo. When I was small, my Mom took a large galvanized tub like this and filled it with water outside so we could cool down. We didn't have a swiming pool.

I remember bathing in one at my great ma'am house in the mountains of Kentucky
Not just babies, my grand mom told me about when she was still living at home the dad would wash first, then the mom then oldest to youngest in the same water and in a tub out side. She was a lucky one since she was older and there were 11 of the kids total.... that is a lot of dirt since they had to work on the land to help the family to be able to live.
