EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, captured on 2 July 1923 by Central News, takes us back to a momentous event in history. The image showcases Mr A Close, an ingenious inventor who defied all odds to gain entry into the highly restricted Inventors Court of Enquiry. Despite an explicit order from Mr Justice Sargent prohibiting his presence, Mr Close devised a cunning plan. Donning an elaborate false moustache that completely transformed his appearance, he managed to slip undetected into the well of the court. With nerves of steel and determination etched across his face, he boldly addressed the judge before being politely asked to leave. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its historical context but also in its portrayal of human resilience and ingenuity. It serves as a testament to those who refuse to be silenced or deterred by obstacles placed before them. Expertly captured in monochrome tones by Europeana Photography, this rare glimpse offers us a window into a pivotal moment where innovation clashed with authority. It reminds us that even amidst adversity, creativity knows no bounds. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from TopFoto's collection, let it inspire us to embrace our own inventiveness and challenge societal norms for the betterment of humanity.
