Taken by an English photographer, this image showcases a workshop filled with tools and equipment used to create these intricate glass and enamel eyes. The historic view provides insight into the craftsmanship involved in producing such delicate prosthetics. The workers can be seen meticulously shaping the glass and applying layers of enamel to bring life-like coloration to each eye.

London's rich history as a hub for innovation is evident in this photograph, as it highlights the city's role in creating these lifelike prosthetics. It also hints at the collaboration between England and Germany during that time period, as German expertise likely influenced this manufacturing process. The image transports us back to the 1920s or 1930s, capturing an important aspect of British history. It serves as a reminder of how far medical technology has come since then while honoring the skillful craftsmanship required for such detailed work.
