The picture of Petofi gripping the phone, brings to mind that prosthetics were very primitive and expensive even in the 1960's as compared to today. My uncle had real solid wooden leg that did not bend at the knee and after he died the family donated it to a veteran who needed one and could not afford to buy one. I think that in 1897 it is unlikely that the hand would be more than a hook and it certainly would not be able to grip a phone.
