EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1939, between the wars, as Prince George, the Duke of Kent pays a visit to the newly built nurse home at Memorial Hospital in Woolwich, London. The image captures a significant moment in history when healthcare was being prioritized amidst uncertain times. Walking confidently down the corridor is Prince George himself, accompanied by Councillor T Watt JP, the Mayor of Woolwich. Their presence exudes an air of importance and authority as they inspect this vital addition to the hospital's facilities. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to this photograph, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance even more. It serves as a reminder of Europe's aristocracy during that era and their involvement in public affairs. This encounter between royalty and local government showcases both parties' commitment towards improving healthcare services for their community. The Duke's visit not only symbolizes his interest in supporting such causes but also highlights his dedication towards meeting with influential figures like Mayor Watt who play crucial roles within society. John Topham skillfully captures this momentous occasion through his lens, preserving it for future generations to admire. As we gaze upon this image today, we can't help but marvel at how far our healthcare systems have come since then while appreciating those who laid its foundations all those years ago.
