a sepiatoned vintage photograph shows a woman from the 1920s or 1930s receiving some sort of respiratory treatment. a complexlooking metal device is connected to her mouth, with tubes and a large circular fan visible. the image suggests an early form of medical technology, possibly an inhaler or other respiratory apparatus. the woman's expression is serene, and her hair is styled in a bob typical of the era. the overall aesthetic is both intriguing and slightly unsettling, reflecting the early days of medical innovation.
