In this print titled "Light Treatment" we are transported back to the year 1926, where Australian cricketer Hendry finds himself undergoing a unique medical procedure. Captured by renowned photographer Alfieri at a London specialist's facility, this image showcases the cutting-edge light treatment that was being explored during the early 20th century. As we delve into this snapshot of history, our attention is drawn to Hendry lying on a bed, wearing protective goggles as he receives the innovative therapy. The apparatus emitting therapeutic light looms above him, casting an ethereal glow upon his face. A nurse stands nearby, attentively monitoring his progress. This photograph not only captures a moment in time but also highlights the intersection between sports and medicine. It serves as a testament to the dedication of athletes like Hendry who were willing to explore unconventional methods for enhancing their performance or recovering from injuries. Alfieri's monochrome composition adds depth and texture to the scene while evoking nostalgia for an era long gone. As we gaze upon this intriguing piece of Europeana photography, it reminds us of how far medical advancements have come since then while also inspiring curiosity about what other remarkable treatments may have been prevalent during that period.
