Paul Ehrlich (1854-1915), a pioneering German Jewish physician and Nobel laureate, graced the stages of Berlin's An Aus Die and Admiralspalast theaters alongside performers in Herman Haller's Achtung. Welle. Known for his groundbreaking work in bacteriology, Ehrlich's theories on how blood cells produce antibodies to combat invading bacteria, as illustrated in these 1910 drawings, revolutionized the medical world. As a chemist and bacteriologist, his discoveries paved the way for the development of the first successful chemotherapeutic agent, Salvarsan, used to treat syphilis. Ehrlich's legacy continues to inspire and influence modern medicine.
