EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in Glasgow's history. Taken on the 11th of March, 1957, it showcases a neon sign adorning the mast of a cruise ship moored in Glasgow harbor. The sign urges people to visit the city's hospitals for an X-ray, emphasizing its vital role in combating the rampant tuberculosis epidemic that plagued the city at that time. Health officials had launched a campaign to raise awareness about this deadly disease and encourage attendance at X-ray sessions. This image symbolizes their efforts to tackle tuberculosis head-on by utilizing transportation as a means to spread their message effectively. The portrait-style photograph highlights a male figure standing with his back turned towards us, gazing out onto the vessel filled with pleasure boats. His presence adds depth and perspective to this powerful scene, reminding viewers of the importance of individual participation in public health initiatives. Joseph McKeown's masterful composition expertly captures both the historical context and emotional impact of this momentous event. Through his lens, we witness not only an architectural marvel but also an emblematic representation of hope amidst adversity.
