EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time at the Institute of Actinology in Paris, where children are receiving ultra-violet ray treatment. The image is part of a private collection and was taken by an English photographer during the 20th century. In this thought-provoking scene, we see children gathered on an artificial sun-beach, their young faces illuminated by the rays of light. This innovative method of treatment aimed to improve their health and wellbeing under the guidance of medical professionals. The photo was originally featured as an illustration for Safer Motherhood, a book edited by Sir William Arbuthnot Lane in 1932. It showcases how education and raising awareness about child health were important aspects of promoting safer motherhood during that era. The composition beautifully captures both the innocence and vulnerability of childhood. The children's expressions reflect a mixture of curiosity and trust as they receive this cutting-edge therapy. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, it serves as a reminder that advancements in medicine have always played a crucial role in improving our lives. Furthermore, it highlights how society has continuously sought ways to protect our most precious resource - our children - through innovative approaches such as actinology treatments. This photograph from Bridgeman Images is not only visually striking but also offers us insight into past medical practices while reminding us that progress is essential for ensuring the well-being of future generations.
