EDITORS COMMENTS
c) (courtesy of the estate of Mrs J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/Mary Evans Picture Library. This intriguing photograph captures the innovative solution implemented by W.H. Robinson to ensure pedestrian safety at sharp bends during the early 20th century. The image, filled with a charming blend of historical significance and a touch of humor, shows a dressing table mirror attached to a lamppost. During the interwar period, as urbanization and motorization increased, the need for pedestrian safety became a pressing concern. W.H. Robinson, an inventive thinker, came up with this unconventional yet effective solution to address the issue. The mirror, positioned at eye level, allowed pedestrians to see around sharp bends and avoid potential collisions with oncoming traffic. The mirror, with its ornate frame and polished surface, adds an unexpected element of elegance to the otherwise mundane lamppost. The reflection of the passing trees and the sky in the mirror creates a surreal scene, as if the mirror has transported the viewer to another world. The image also offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the simple pleasures and resourcefulness of the era. The use of a dressing table mirror, a common household item, demonstrates the ingenuity and adaptability of people during this time. As we admire this photograph, we are reminded of the importance of innovation and the human spirit's ability to find solutions to even the most complex problems. The mirror, with its historical significance and timeless charm, continues to inspire and intrigue us, making it a fascinating addition to any collection.
