The oldest known European visual representation of a wheelchair comes from a woodcut by Hans Weiditz. It is dated 1531 and was published in Augsburg, Bavaria (now in modern Germany).
The first recorded use of a wheelchair in England was on January the 11th, 1672, when John Evelyn, a diarist contemporary of the notable Samuel Pepys, commented in his own diary on Lord Aubignie’s “wheele-chaire”.
John Evelyn, recorded in his entry of 11th of January, 1662 that:
“I dined this day at Arundell-house, where I heard excellent Musique, perform’d by the ablest Masters both French & Eng, on Theorba, Viols, Organs & Voices as an Exercise against the comming of the Queene, as purposly composd for her chapell &c: After which my Lord Aubignie (her Majesties Almoner to be) shewed us his elegant Lodging;& his wheele-chaire for Ease & motion, with divers other Curiosities,…….”

Stephan Farfler
After his death, Farfler’s vehicle went to the Municipal Library in Nuremberg, it later became the victim of allied bombs in January 1945.
