Fascinating

Prosthetic limbs are fascinating in and of themselves - the processes by which they exist and function are pretty incredible. I've never really taken a particularly long look at any given prosthesis (you don't want to get caught staring, after all!) but inevitably, we all want to look. Modern prosthetics being what they are, these photos of the technology are probably unbelievably dated - but they are unbelievably well taken and serve to show just how the technology really works, including some idealized shots of prosthesis in action, allowing these victims of hand grenades from World War 2 to resume a 'normal' life.
