The photograph was probably taken in the late 1930s after Marie Byng Johnson restored the premises as a studio in which to exhibit cards depicting historic Bath. The bath chair, or Bath chair, was a wheeled carriage commonly used by the infirm or disabled. It originated in the town of Bath, where attendants could be employed to push the occupant around the historic city. They were particularly popular in the spa towns of late Victorian England.
