EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures the aftermath of a successful hip-joint amputation during the War of the Rebellion in the 1860s. Private George W. Lemon bravely faced this life-altering operation, depicted in stunning detail by artist George A. Otis. The intensity of battle is evident in Lemon's expression as he confronts the reality of losing a limb on the battlefield. The medical advancements and precision required for such a procedure are highlighted through this historical lithograph, showcasing the resilience and strength of those who fought during this tumultuous time. As we reflect on this moment captured in early photography, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by soldiers like Lemon and their enduring impact on history. This image serves as a testament to both the horrors of war and the remarkable progress made in medicine throughout the 19th century. Through artistry and documentation, Bridgeman Images has preserved this significant piece of medical history for future generations to study and appreciate. It stands as a poignant reminder of courage in adversity and serves as a tribute to all those who have sacrificed for their country.
