This wheelchair carries two women dressed in circus costumes
The first wheelchair was invented in 1655 by Stephan Farffler, a paraplegic clock-maker from Germany who had broken his back as a child and wished to build his own mobility aid. Whether they’re manually operated or electric, these valuable objects have been helping disabled people ever since.
Still, it’s bizarre to witness two people in a wheelchair, as they were designed for individual use. What’s more, the women in the picture above are both wearing atypical costumes, not to mention one of them is tied to the back and has her mouth covered with a mask.
