EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this fascinating glimpse into the 19th century world of invalid comforts. The Carter illustrated catalogue for invalid comforts is a treasure trove of historical artifacts, showcasing a wide array of specialized equipment designed to aid those with disabilities or injuries. From elegant carriages and post chaises to innovative pullman cars and carrying chairs, this catalogue offers a comprehensive look at the various ways in which individuals sought comfort and mobility during a time when accessibility was limited. Wheelchairs, bath chairs, breakfast in bed tables - each item tells a story of ingenuity and adaptation in the face of physical limitations. But beyond their practical function, these items also speak to the broader societal attitudes towards disability during this era. The concept of being "handicapable" was still emerging, as evidenced by the careful consideration given to design and aesthetics in these pieces. As you explore this print from Bridgeman Images, take a moment to reflect on how far we've come in terms of inclusivity and accessibility. While these items may seem antiquated now, they serve as important reminders of our ongoing journey towards creating a more equitable world for all.
