Louis Blin, a man with artificial legs who served as a monitor at French school for the disabled, 1918 / FASCINATING IMAGES from over a century ago showing some of the early advances made in the production of artificial limbs have remerged today, giving a rare insight into the solutions available to war veterans in the early 20th century. Images from the collection show workers from the American Red Cross artificial limb factory working hard to manufacture an unprecedented number of prosthetics for World War One veterans, thousands of whom lost arms or legs in the horrors of the First World War. Further pictures show amputees with and without their artificial limbs as they attempt to come to terms with their new lives, while others show some of the custom-made attachments that were created for amputees so that they could return to work despite their disabilities / mediadrumworld.com
