Fun with Baby :-))

Fun with Baby :-))
I did a double-take when I saw this contraption in a vintage shop in Bognor Regis. Thankfully, the "baby" turned out to be a realistic looking doll.

During WWII, babies had special gas-respirators like this one. When all the flaps were folded in place and the straps fastened the baby was totally enclosed. Filtered air was then pumped in by hand.

My eyes bugged out a little bit when I saw this! Haha - what a great find, and you've caught it in such great light/shadow. That makes it all the creepier!

J'étais persuadé que ce Bébé était un vrai. L'effet photographique est saisissant.
