EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in the history of science. In this print, we see Marie Curie, the renowned Polish-born French physicist and pioneer in radioactivity, standing alongside Dean Pegram, the esteemed Dean of the School of Engineering at Columbia University. The year is 1921, and both individuals exude an air of intellect and determination. Marie Curie's contributions to chemistry and physics are immeasurable. Her groundbreaking research on radiation led to her discovery of two new elements - polonium and radium - earning her not one but two Nobel Prizes in Physics (1903) and Chemistry (1911). She became the first woman ever to receive such prestigious accolades. Dean Pegram stands beside her as a symbol of recognition from Columbia University for Curie's remarkable achievements. His presence signifies the importance placed on scientific advancements within academia during this early 20th century period. The composition beautifully captures their shared passion for knowledge with Marie Curie holding what appears to be a book or document while Dean Pegram looks on attentively. Their expressions convey mutual respect and admiration for each other's work. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are reminded not only of Marie Curie's immense impact on our understanding of natural sciences but also of her trailblazing role as a female scientist in a male-dominated field. This photograph serves as a testament to her enduring legacy that continues to inspire generations worldwide. Bridgeman Images has once again brought us an invaluable piece from their collection, allowing us to delve into the rich tapestry of scientific history through visual artistry.
