EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of historical significance when Marie Curie, the groundbreaking scientist and Nobel laureate, visited the British field-hospital at Furnes during the First World War on March 27, 1915. Known for her pioneering work in radioactivity, Curie had discovered the elements radium and polonium, and was a leading expert in the use of X-rays for medical diagnosis. In this image, Madame Curie, dressed in a simple white lab coat, is seen examining an X-ray plate with the help of a military doctor. The hospital ward behind them is filled with wounded soldiers, some lying in beds, others seated or standing, all looking on with a mix of curiosity and hope. The atmosphere is tense and somber, yet there is a sense of determination and resilience in the faces of those present. The importance of this visit cannot be overstated. At a time when X-ray technology was still relatively new and not widely available, Curie's expertise was invaluable for diagnosing and treating injuries on the battlefield. She had already established the Radium Institute in Paris and was working tirelessly to provide mobile X-ray units to the French and British armies. This photograph is a testament to her unwavering commitment to science and humanity, and her role as a trailblazing woman in history. The image, taken on the 21st of March, 1915, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime and the crucial role that science and innovation play in addressing the challenges of the world. The photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, is a valuable historical document that sheds light on a pivotal moment in both scientific and military history.
