Description
A press photograph of children in the Orthopedic Hospital of Los Angeles, 15 December 1925. There are two young patients in the hospital for treatment and seen working on crafts to be given to less fortunate children for Christmas. One boy sits in a rocker like wheelchair with a cast on his left arm. He is working on weaving a basket with straw. Next to him is a young girl lying in bed constructing a Santa Claus figure atop a house with paper and paste. A porcelain doll is placed at the head of the bed. A boy lays in another bed looking on. There is a typed description of the scene on the reverse. With a missing the left corner, minor discoloration and abrasion, the object is in fair condition.
