EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, a time when American advertising was just beginning to flourish. The image showcases an intriguing advertisement for an early wheelchair, a groundbreaking invention that revolutionized mobility for individuals with physical disabilities. The ad itself is a testament to the ingenuity of the era, featuring bold text that proudly proclaims "WHEELCHAIR, 19th CENTURY". It serves as a powerful reminder of how far we have come in terms of accessibility and inclusivity. The photograph captures not only the essence of this historical artifact but also offers us a glimpse into the social attitudes towards disability during that period. Intriguingly, this advertisement does not focus on commercial aspects or promote any specific company. Instead, it highlights the significance of this innovative device in improving the lives of those who were previously limited by their physical impairments. The presence of two men in wheelchairs further emphasizes its impact on society. As we reflect upon this image from Granger Art on Demand's collection, we are reminded of America's relentless pursuit of progress and innovation throughout history. This photograph serves as both an educational tool and a visual representation of our collective journey towards creating more inclusive societies where everyone has equal opportunities to thrive.
