Paul Sandby (1731-1809) made several pen and watercolor images of this kitchen which included an indoor water pump onto a stone sink, shaping butter pads, and large tubs to wash dishes. All pictures are held in the Royal Collection Trust. | Researching Food History
There are many styles of stone sinks. This 1740s one by the window is in the Ephrata Cloisters kitchen, Pennsylvania. The second set of images is a stone sink in The Woodlands, c1780s in Philadelphia. Several 1800s descriptions are below. My favorite stone sink, in a window, will be in a future post. | Researching Food History
