EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures the ingenious invention of W.H. Robinson's Reading Mirror, a useful mechanical aid that revolutionized the way people read on public transportation during the mid-20th century. The mirror, reflected in this image, is ingeniously positioned between two passengers on a bus or tube, allowing one to discreetly read the newspaper or magazine of the person sitting in front of them without disturbing them. The Reading Mirror was an essential gadget during a time when privacy was a luxury, especially during the post-WWII era when commuting on crowded buses and tubes became a daily routine for many. The mirror's historical significance lies in its ability to bring a sense of humor and intrigue to the mundane experience of commuting, as well as its clever solution to a common problem of nosy neighbors. The invention of the Reading Mirror by W.H. Robinson is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the human mind. The mirror's design, with its sleek and unobtrusive appearance, blended seamlessly into the daily commute, making it an indispensable tool for those who wanted to stay informed and entertained while on the go. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the past and reminds us of the simple pleasures and innovations that have shaped our daily lives.
