Art and Design for Radiology

The family of the late Sir George Pollock Bt. HonFRPS, FRSA, an accomplished photographer and a past President of the Royal Photographic Society have kindly donated a series of his photographs to be displayed in the RUH Radiology Department.

In 1962, Sir George Pollock invented a method of making abstract colour photographs using controlled light originally through glass. He called them “Vitrographs” This light refraction technique is the focus of his body of work.
