Summary
DescriptionNorman Saunders - cover of Marvel Science Stories for April-May 1939.jpg |
English: Cover of the April-May 1939 issue of Marvel Science Stories. Art is by Norman Saunders. From the Table of Contents: "This Month's Cover: Norman Saunders, inimitable science-fiction cover artist, gives his conception of a beauty parlor of the future— A Mechanical Fountain of Touth." There's also a column by Eando Binder discussing it, entitled "A Mechanical Fountain of Youth". A short sample: "Let us assume it is some future year, and whatever age you are now, you are in need of rejuvenation by then. You enter the Youth Emporium, pay the fee (in accordance with your pocketbook, perhaps) and the Operator questions you. How long do you want to feel—about twenty-one? How handsome do you want to look—like the current matinee idol? And the best of health, of course?"

한국어: 놀랍고 신기한 과학 이야기(Marvel Science Stories ) 1939년 4-5월호의 표지. 당대의 유명 SF 예술가였던 노먼 손더스가 '미래의 미용실'을 그림으로 표현하였다. 엔도 바인더(Eando Binder)가 이를 묘사하는 컬럼을 썼는데, 그는 전기로 몸의 세포를 충전하고 뇌하수체를 변경하는 등의 상세한 설명을 하였다. 이는 현대 과학과 정확히 들어맞지는 않는데, 그가 말미에 지적했듯이 당시는 생물학이 그다지 잘 발달하지 못했다.

This image was selected as picture of the day on Wikimedia Commons for 28 April 2015. It was captioned as follows: English: Cover of Marvel Science Stories for April-May 1939. Shows an illustration by Norman Saunders, a popular sci-fi artist of the time, meant to show a "Beauty Parlor of the Future". Eando Binder provided a column describing it, in which he went into details about electricity recharging the cells of the body, and modifying the pituitary gland - not exactly fitting with modern science, but as he points out at the end, biology wasn't so well developed in those days.
