EDITORS COMMENTS
X-ray Room for Ring Worm, Woolwich School Treatment Centre, London, 1914. This print takes us back to the early 20th century when medical advancements were revolutionizing healthcare. In this image, we see a young boy lying on his side in the X-ray room of the Woolwich School Treatment Centre. The machinery looms above him, ready to unveil the secrets hidden beneath his skin. This photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents the dedication and progressiveness of medical professionals during that era. The Greater London Council (GLC) and London County Council worked tirelessly to provide state-of-the-art treatment facilities like this one for schools under their jurisdiction. The presence of both male and female doctors and nurses showcases how gender barriers were being broken down within the medical profession at that time. It is a testament to their commitment towards providing quality healthcare for all. The Woolwich School Treatment Centre played a vital role in combating ringworm, a common fungal infection among schoolchildren during those years. With its cutting-edge X-ray technology, it enabled accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plans. As we gaze upon this historic image captured by an unknown photographer from the Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection, let us appreciate how far medicine has come since then while acknowledging those who laid its foundations.
