“St. Mary's Hospital, London, 1942. Howard Florey and Ernst Chain observe a bandaged patient improving after the first injections of mass-produced penicillin. Foreground shows a nurse adjusting a glass IV bottle and a chart showing falling fever; midground reveals Florey examining a Petri dish where bacteria are dying around mold; through a window, London barrage balloons hang over wartime rooftops.”
