Title:
Boy with Tuberculosis in Bath Chair, 1900
Caption:
A boy or young man, suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis, sits in a Bath chair in front of his chalet accompanied by a woman (presumably his mother). The chalet contains a bed and a chair and is open, possibly to allow fresh air to circulate for the benefit of the inhabitant. Published in 1900. A Bath chair is a rolling chaise or light carriage with a folding hood. Used especially by invalids, it is mounted on three or four wheels and drawn or pushed by hand. It is so named from its origin in Bath, England, and possibly also after its similarity in appearance to an old-fashioned bathtub.
