Children under a sunlamp, 1960 C016 / 2693
Phototherapy. Children sitting under a sun lamp. Such lamps have a very bright, broad spectrum output. At the longer wavelength end of the spectrum (red and infrared) this gives a sensation of warmth on the skin while the higher wavelengths (blue and ultraviolet) promote the production of Vitamin D. In many northern European countries such therapies used to be given during winter periods, ostensibly to make the children healthy. Photographed in Russia in 1960

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Children under a sunlamp, 1960" takes us back to the mid-20th century in Russia. The image showcases a medical treatment known as phototherapy, where children sit under a powerful sun lamp emitting broad-spectrum light. In this case, the lamp's output includes red and infrared wavelengths that provide warmth on the skin while promoting the production of Vitamin D through blue and ultraviolet wavelengths. During winter periods in northern European countries like Russia, such therapies were commonly administered to ensure children's health. This particular photograph captures a moment of this therapeutic session taking place in Moscow. A male doctor and female nurse oversee the procedure while several young boys and girls sit attentively beneath the sunlamp. The children wear protective eyewear - some sporting sunglasses or shades - shielding their eyes from intense UV rays emitted by the lamp. The monochrome composition adds an air of nostalgia to this scene from Soviet-era medicine. This thought-provoking image not only highlights medical practices of its time but also serves as a reminder of how scientific advancements have shaped healthcare over decades. It invites us to reflect on both past approaches to treating ailments and our present understanding of phototherapy's benefits for human well-being.
