I m forever blowing bubbles. But these bubbles don
I m forever blowing bubbles. But these bubbles don t burst after a few minutes in the air they last a considerable time and do a job of utmost importance to our seaman, in fact to every ship on the high seas. They will shortly be bubbles of light piercing the darkness, which gives warning from the lighthouses around the coastline of Britain. A female glass blower is seen here holding a 16 inch glass bulb which weighs ten and a half pounds.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1943, amidst the chaos of World War II. A female glass blower stands before us, her hands delicately cradling a magnificent 16-inch glass bulb. This extraordinary creation weighs an astonishing ten and a half pounds, showcasing both the strength and skill possessed by this remarkable woman. As she gazes at her masterpiece with pride, we cannot help but marvel at its purpose. These bubbles she blows do not burst like ordinary ones; instead, they endure for a considerable time and serve a vital role in our seafaring world. Soon enough, these very bubbles will transform into beacons of light that pierce through darkness along Britain's coastline - lighthouses guiding ships to safety. The reflection on her face reveals determination and dedication as she contributes to the war effort from home front industries. Her overalls signify her readiness to work tirelessly in support of those fighting on distant shores. In this unusual scene captured by Freddie Reed on December 30th, 1943, we witness firsthand the ingenuity and resilience displayed during one of history's darkest times. This photograph encapsulates not only the spirit of women contributing significantly to wartime efforts but also serves as a reminder of their often overlooked contributions throughout history. It is through such glimpses into our past that we gain appreciation for those who have shaped our present reality - forever blowing bubbles that illuminate our path forward.
