EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'About to Sneeze,' transports us back in time to the elegant and refined world of the 1960s. The image features a smartly dressed gentleman, his impeccable attire consisting of a well-tailored suit, a crisp white shirt, and a stylish tie. His air of sophistication is further accentuated by his handlebar mustache and the air of quiet concentration on his face. The gentleman, seemingly unaware of the viewer's gaze, clutches a handkerchief to his chest, the telltale sign that a sneeze is imminent. The handkerchief, a necessary accessory for gentlemen of the era, is held tightly, as if to prevent the sudden eruption of a sneeze from disrupting his composure. The historical context of this photograph adds an intriguing layer to the image. The 1960s were a time when colds and other common ailments were a part of daily life, and the use of handkerchiefs to cover the mouth and nose during a sneeze was a common practice. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when manners and etiquette played a significant role in everyday life. The medical significance of the image is also noteworthy. The gentleman's clenched jaw and furrowed brow suggest the discomfort and tension that often precedes a sneeze. The act of covering the mouth and nose during a sneeze is an effective way to prevent the spread of germs and protect others from catching the illness. In summary, this photograph of 'About to Sneeze' is a captivating glimpse into the past, offering a fascinating insight into the history, fashion, and etiquette of the 1960s. The image's timeless appeal lies in its ability to transport us to a bygone era and remind us of the simple pleasures and practices of a more elegant and refined time.
