does anyone know where I can find good reference images of victorian-era wheelchairs? I want to draw the jovial contrarian but all the wheelchair art refs/tutorials I can find are for modern wheelchairs

okay so here's a few photo's i have on hand for ref

Here is an article on the history of the wheelchair, which has some info on the victorian era ones

Image from that one, circa late 1860s.

Another from the science museum, late victorian era:

This one in particular is noteworthy as :
"unlike a typical bath chair, the wheels are fitted with an extra ring to allow the chair to be driven by the passenger. " so perhaps keep that in mind for drawing too

So i usually go off of the old picture + combine some facets of modern wheelchair for Fallen London, since i think The Neath could have some of it own technological advancments

Hope these are helpful!

mannnnn not a nitrogen narcosis post on the dash that's fully lying about what causes it and the effects of it

sorry but this is ridiculous... there isn't a 'subset of people' who are affected by it and we don't 'have no real idea why it happens to them'. it's nitrogen narcosis!! they literally REFER TO IT BY NAME IN THE POST!! you can open wikipedia and read a detailed breakdown of how and why it happens with diagrams and everything! aditionally there's no 'subset', it happens to literally everyone who goes down deep enough without special equipment! also it becomes a significant risk at 100 feet no 60 but I recognize that's nitpicky

just. why would anyone lie about this what's going onnnn

lol i am aware that if you throw somebody down to 100 feet real fucking fast, people will universally get narced.

the point was that there's no formula like for alcohol intake or other forms of intoxication where you can reliably estimate based on body mass + metabolism how much it'll take for a specific person to be affected. you take someone down to 60 feet and it's unpredictable whether they're good or not at that depth. the big 250 lb guy may completely lose his cool while the petite 120 lb woman is completely fine. we don't have clear science on why. people's personal limits of going from the testing threshold down lower aren't understood, the body chemistry of it and the way that nitrogen acts on different people's biology hasn't been deeply explored due to obvious limitations.

also from the 2nd paragraph of the wikipedia page:

Divers can learn to cope with some of the effects of narcosis, but it is impossible to develop a tolerance. Narcosis can affect all divers, although susceptibility varies widely among individuals and from dive to dive.

bottom line, some people are weirdly tolerant of deep dives while it hits others like a train. but the above paragraphs and in-depth explanation kind of break up the flow of the story. sorry if the original post got misconstrued without my extra rambling.
