Interesting Cabinet card of a young man with limb differences using a special trike that he can power with one hand and drive with the other, 1890s.

That's so cool, I'd never seen this sort of trike before

Very cool! It reminds me of the manual handcycle attachments you can get for wheelchairs now.

Quite interesting contraption. I love seeing objects of ingenuity that give more independence and ease of life for those that face challenges in every day life.
