Today is the International Day of Disabled Persons.

To mark the occasion, we’re exploring some ongoing research into the history of disability in the collection through six objects selected by staff and volunteers – swipe to see two of their choices.

First is a prosthetic toe made in Egypt nearly 3,000 years ago. Emma Brown says ‘I’m particularly interested in this object not only for its functional use, but also for its aesthetic appeal, which gives us an insight into the life and status of the wearer.’

Next is a pair of studies by French artist Nicolas Poussin. They date to the late 1650s, when Poussin’s health had declined and tremors became visible in his drawings, as is the case here. Barbara Gomes-Artilheiro chose this ‘captivating piece because we get a glimpse of Poussin’s experience of illness through his artwork.’
