A prosthesis also known as a prosthetic or prothes, is an artificial device that replicates a missing body part, which may have been lost through trauma, disease, or congenital conditions.
This is a poster of hand-illustrated prosthetic devices that were used during the 19th century.
This poster is 17 inches wide by 22 inches high, generous black ink lushly printed on parchment stock.
PLEASE NOTE: This poster image was hand-drawn by Madame Talbot using General's Cedar Pointe #333-2HB pencils on Crescent 201.6 Hot Press Medium Weight illustration board at original poster size. An antique Koh-i-Noor rapidograph pen and Dr. P. H. Martin's Bombay Black India ink were used for final inking.
After completion, the image was hand-delivered to Ryan Gwinner Pressin Portland, Oregon and printed on an offset printing press.
