Abstract

This chapter explores how, during the 1920s and 1930s, a variety of forces came into play to weave sunlight, as a giver of health, into the fabric of social environments. The use of sunlight, both natural and artificial, was already well established as a therapy that had been prevalent in Europe since the late nineteenth century.
