EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo taken in 1937, we are transported back to the English countryside between the wars. The image captures a moment at the East Malling Research station in Kent, where an intriguing experiment is taking place. A man dressed in a coat stands inside a greenhouse, holding up a Handimac ultraviolet ray light. This innovative device was being tested for its effectiveness in killing bugs - an essential aspect of pest control in horticulture. The monochrome tones add depth and nostalgia to the scene, evoking memories of a bygone era. The simplicity of the composition draws our attention to the subject at hand - scientific research aimed at improving agricultural practices during challenging times. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we can't help but wonder about the significance of these tests and their impact on farming communities. John Topham's skillful photography allows us to glimpse into a world where technology meets nature, as scientists strive to find solutions for pest management. This photograph serves as both an educational tool and a reminder of how far we have come in our understanding of agriculture. It symbolizes human ingenuity and dedication towards finding sustainable methods for cultivating crops while protecting them from harmful insects. Let this image transport you back to an era when innovation met tradition; where researchers like those at East Malling were pioneers shaping modern horticultural practices that continue to benefit us today.
