EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Ultraviolet rays: effects" takes us back to the year 1925. In this anonymous illustration from a private collection, we witness an outlandish experiment conducted on a rabbit. The image showcases the importance of understanding the physical effects of ultraviolet (UV) rays. To demonstrate these effects, the ears of the rabbit have been covered with black cardboard or cut into letters R and V. The animal is then exposed to UV rays emitted by a mercury lamp. Astonishingly, upon closer inspection, one can observe traces of burning on its ears that are identical to those caused by sunburns in humans. The photographer's intention seems to be shedding light on the knowledge gained through this peculiar experience. It serves as a reminder that UV radiation possesses immense energy and can cause harm not only to humans but also animals. Stefano Bianchetti has masterfully captured this moment in history through his skilled engraving technique. This artwork provides valuable insight into scientific exploration during the early 20th century. As we gaze at this thought-provoking print, it prompts us to reflect upon our own understanding of UV radiation and its impact on living organisms. It encourages us to appreciate how far our knowledge has progressed since 1925 while reminding us that there is always more to discover about our world's natural phenomena.
