Photo with 123 notes

Studio photograph of a young girl wearing a pair of artificial legs. The legs were manufactured by James Gillingham (1839-1924), a boot/shoemaker based in Chard, Somerset. Gillingham started making artificial limbs after a local man lost an arm firing a cannon in 1863. He then began making prostheses on a permanent basis and Chard eventually became a major centre of the British artificial limb industry.
