New Metallic Collar Reflects Health Rays of Sun on Face
A NEW apparatus for directing the health-giving rays of the sun to the face, known as the “Rivierasonne,” has recently been introduced in Berlin. The device is made out of a thin metal and shaped like a large collar.
The metal collar collects the sun’s rays and throws them onto the face by means of a multiple reflector. Being extremely flexible, the apparatus, shown in the photo on the right, can be adjusted to any angle to catch the rays and reflect them as desired.
….because you don’t want to be too white in 1930s Germany.
