Sun Protection - A Glimpse into Summer's Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photograph captured by E. Dean in 1937, we are transported back to a time when sun protection was approached with creativity and humor. The image showcases a group of sunbathers at the Hyde Park Lido in London, England, donning towels on their heads as shields against the scorching rays of the sun. The composition is set against the picturesque backdrop of a serene lake, where men and women leisurely stroll along its shores. Dressed in classic swimwear from that era, they form a line reminiscent of comic characters brought to life. Their towel-covered heads create an amusing sight that adds an element of whimsy to this archival snapshot. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also reflects the prevailing attitudes towards sun protection during that period. It serves as a reminder of how our approach to safeguarding ourselves from harmful UV rays has evolved over the years. As we gaze upon this vintage print, it transports us back to an era when people embraced outdoor activities while finding innovative ways to shield themselves from nature's elements. It invites us to reflect on our own practices today and appreciate how far we have come in understanding the importance of protecting our skin under the warm embrace of summer's golden glow.
