EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken on the 9th of October, 1928, we are transported back in time to witness the intense preparations for a Rat War. The image showcases a group of dedicated staff members working diligently in the kitchen of Dr C L Claremont, a renowned Research Chemist enlisted by the Ministry of Agriculture. With focused expressions and an air of determination, these individuals are seen baking poison biscuits as part of their strategy to combat the rat infestation plaguing England during that era. Their meticulous attention to detail is evident as they measure ingredients and carefully shape each biscuit with precision. The composition exudes a sense of urgency and importance, highlighting the gravity of their mission. The dimly lit room adds an element of mystery while emphasizing their clandestine efforts against this common enemy. The vintage appliances scattered throughout serve as reminders that this battle took place in a different time period. Captured by J. Gaiger from Topical Press Agency/Getty Images, this historical print offers us a glimpse into an often overlooked chapter in England's agricultural history. It serves as both a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance in combating adversity and stands as a reminder that even amidst challenging circumstances, there will always be those willing to go above and beyond for the greater good.
