EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1935, the Duchess of York, later known as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, is seen trying out the latest innovation in medical technology at Middlesex Hospital. The Duchess, who was born in 1900, was an active patron of various charities and organizations, and her visit to the hospital was an opportunity to show her support for the advancements in healthcare. The Duchess is seen placing her hand on a small table, while a medical professional adjusts the settings of the new X-ray machine behind her. The machine, a testament to the technological advancements of the 1930s, emits a beam of radiation that passes through the Duchess' hand, producing an image on a screen. The Duchess' expression is one of curiosity and fascination, as she observes the process with great interest. The introduction of X-ray machines revolutionized the medical field, allowing doctors to diagnose injuries and diseases that were previously difficult or impossible to detect. The Duchess' visit to Middlesex Hospital served as a symbol of hope and progress, as the new technology offered the promise of improved health and wellbeing for the people of London and beyond. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, capturing a moment of history as it unfolds. The Duchess' poised and elegant demeanor, combined with the cutting-edge technology of the X-ray machine, make for a striking and timeless image. The photograph is a reminder of the power of innovation and the enduring role of technology in shaping our world.
