EDITORS COMMENTS
This remarkable black and white x-ray photograph captures a fascinating moment in history. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, it is now part of a private collection. The image was originally used as an illustration for the book "Electricity of To-day" by Charles R Gibson, published in 1912. The subject of this photograph is a child who had swallowed a bicycle toy. It was taken at a London hospital where surgeons were attempting to remove the lodged object from the young patient's body. This extraordinary image provides us with insight into early medical practices and highlights the importance of paediatrics during that time. In addition to its historical significance, this photo also showcases various toys and games popular among children at that period. Plush animals, board games, parlour games, ball games - they all make an appearance in this snapshot of childhood playfulness. Bridgeman Images has preserved this valuable piece of art through their Fine Art Finder platform. While we cannot mention commercial use or endorse any specific company related to this print, we can appreciate its educational value and artistic merit. It serves as a reminder of how far medical technology has advanced since then while also reminding us of the innocence and joy found within children's playtime throughout history.
