Are those people really tiny, or is that sink enormous?

a proto diswasher! I wonder what's the part that's supposed to wash (with electricity!) the dishes, as it's not shown here.

You see that thing in the middle of the dishes that looks like a tin can? That's the bit that sprays water and suds onto the dishes. Being a technology history geek (and a bit of a cleaning freak) I was curious about how it worked so I found this Kohler page that explains it and has some more great ads:
