A Book Toilet - Futility Closet

Summary by Futility Closet
In 1772, wool merchant François Adrien Van den Bogaert commissioned a garden pavilion for Den Wolsack, his house in Antwerp. On the first floor is a bibliophile’s lavatory, in which the bowl is concealed in a fancifully rendered stack of books. The volumes on the surrounding shelves aren’t real; they’re made of wood covered with leather. (Thanks, Serge.)
