EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures William Willett, the wealthy builder who is credited with being the originator of daylight saving time. In this historical image from 1915, we see a distinguished man who made a significant impact on our daily lives by advocating for turning clocks forward in the spring and back in the fall to make better use of natural daylight.
Willett's innovative idea has become a common practice around the world, influencing how we structure our days and maximize sunlight. His legacy lives on through this powerful portrait that showcases his determination and vision for creating more efficient use of time.
The photograph exudes a sense of history and importance, reminding us of Willett's lasting contribution to society. As we gaze upon his confident expression, we are reminded of the impact one individual can have on shaping our modern way of life.
Mary Evans Picture Library has beautifully preserved this piece of history, allowing us to reflect on Willett's pioneering spirit and dedication to improving our daily routines. This print serves as a reminder of how one man's idea can change the course of time itself.
