EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative painting captures the interior of the Plastic Department of the S.R.A. (Social Reconstructive Association) circa 1918. The room is filled with an array of colorful prosthetic limbs, each one meticulously crafted to help restore mobility and function to those in need. The Plastic Department was a pioneering initiative of the S.R.A., which aimed to provide advanced medical care and rehabilitation services to soldiers and civilians injured during the First World War. The scene is set against a backdrop of muted tones and natural light filtering in through the windows, creating a sense of calm and hope amidst the chaos of the war. Two women, Nina and Mary Balfour, are seen in the foreground, intently examining a prosthetic limb from a magazine spread out on a table. Their expressions suggest a deep concentration and dedication to their work, as they carefully study the design and intricacies of the device. The painting offers a glimpse into the innovative and compassionate work being done by the S.R.A. during a time of great need. The Plastic Department's commitment to creating functional and effective prosthetic limbs was a testament to the organization's forward-thinking approach to healthcare and rehabilitation. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination of those who worked tirelessly to help others during a time of great adversity.
