Abstract:
This black and white photographic postcard shows an operation being performed on a patient's leg. The patient lies on the wooden operating table, covered in dark blankets. Seven people surround the patient. In the center, the doctor performs the operation. To his right are a man and two women. Both women wear long dark dresses with long white aprons and brimmed hats with ribbons. One is holding the patient's ankle to stabilize the leg and the other is holding a basin. The man to the doctor's left is holding an instrument. Two men stand at the head of the patient. Another man stands separately toward the back of the room. On the back wall are two eye charts and a large cabinet with open doors. On the side wall is a small wooden table with various items, including bowls and a pitcher.
