"Amputated: A Journey of Resilience and Strength" In the aftermath of World War I, an injured soldier bravely faces a new reality. Phantom pain after amputation becomes a constant reminder of the sacrifices made on the battlefield. Through art, their inner turmoil finds expression - Stephanie Lush's powerful artwork captures the raw emotions that come with losing both legs to meningitis. Centuries ago, amputation was used as punishment for fugitive slaves, as depicted in Francois Froger's engraving from "Relation du Voyage de M. De Gennes. " The haunting image serves as a stark reminder of humanity's dark past. Yet amidst adversity, there is also unwavering devotion to homeland. An oil painting portrays an amputee's love for their country, symbolizing resilience and patriotism despite physical limitations. Similarly, Currier & Ives' lithograph immortalizes Stonewall Jackson's death - a testament to sacrifice in times of war. The New Union Club colored engraving from 1819 showcases society's evolving perception towards amputees - highlighting inclusivity and acceptance within communities. Wounded soldiers find solace in military hospitals like those captured in St Petersburg through black-and-white photography. These images capture not only physical healing but also the emotional support provided by fellow comrades during challenging times. Francois Voltaire's illustration from "Candide" reminds us that progress often comes at great cost; it depicts enslaved individuals working tirelessly to produce sugar consumed across Europe – sacrificing limbs for others' indulgence. John Silver, portrayed in vibrant color lithography from "Characters of Romance, " represents fictional characters who embody strength despite facing life-altering circumstances like amputation. Medical collotypes on paper further illustrate different aspects of this journey: Plate 538 shows a young boy moving forward after double thigh amputation while Plate 186 depicts someone hopping on their right foot – showcasing determination even when faced with immense challenges.
