Ah, the pleasures of a quick trip back to the 18th century--when people emptied chamber pots out of windows, free-roaming animals dumped poop on city streets, clothes were seemingly designed to be uncomfortable, and baths were rare (but infestations of lice, bedbugs, flies and intestinal parasites were not). A rousingly unappetizing survey of the time's fashions, living conditions and (lack of) sanitary practices.
