Artificial Sun - A Glimpse into Winter's Warmth
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photograph captured by Harry Todd in 1942, we are transported back to a time when the world was engulfed in the chaos of World War II. The image showcases civil defence workers at the Finsbury Health Centre in England, seeking respite from winter's pallor through an innovative creation known as Mixray. Designed by two Czechoslovak inventors, this peculiar yet groundbreaking invention aimed to mimic the rejuvenating effects of natural sunlight. As these brave women gather around, their faces adorned with protective glasses and uniforms, they bask under the glow of a sun lamp - a symbol of hope amidst dark times. The scene evokes a sense of unity and determination as these dedicated individuals embrace science and technology to combat the harsh realities brought about by war. With its horizontal format capturing both their front and rear view, we witness their unwavering commitment towards emergency planning and medicine during this tumultuous era. This archival print not only serves as a reminder of human resilience but also highlights how innovation can flourish even in times of adversity. It is an ode to those who dared to think outside the box, bringing light into lives that were shrouded in darkness. As we gaze upon this extraordinary moment frozen in time, let us appreciate the ingenuity behind such inventions that continue to shape our world today.
