EDITORS COMMENTS
This advertisement from the Illustrated London News in 1896 showcases the Carter Wounded or Invalid Chairs, a groundbreaking invention that revolutionized the daily lives of invalids and students during the Victorian era. The image features a woman comfortably seated in a Carter chair, holding a book and writing at a desk, all while reclining in an easy chair, bed, or sofa. The chair's unique design allowed users to propel themselves forward with ease, eliminating the need to stoop or fatigue while working or reading. The Carter chairs were particularly valuable to invalids, as they provided comfort and support for those with spinal injuries or other mobility issues. The adjustable bed and table attached to the chair enabled patients to maintain a comfortable position while working or eating, making their daily routines more manageable. The chairs were also popular among students, who could use them to study in a relaxed position, avoiding the discomfort of sitting at a traditional desk for long periods. The chairs were available in various styles, including wicker and carriage designs, and came with wheels for easy mobility. The Carter chairs were built with the latest medical advancements in mind, and their use extended beyond the home. They were also used in hospitals, sanatoriums, and other medical facilities as ambulances, stretchers, and wheelchairs. The chairs were a testament to the innovative spirit of the Victorian era, providing practical solutions to everyday challenges and enhancing the quality of life for those in need. This advertisement is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the Carter chairs' versatility and appeal during a time when mobility and comfort were essential for those with health challenges or studying long hours.
