Marie Curie, Polish-French physicist
Marie Curie (1867-1934, nee Marya Sklodowska), Polish-French physicist. With her husband Pierre, she isolated the radioactive elements polonium and radium in 1898. Marie won the 1911 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for this work. She had previously been awarded the 1903 Nobel Prize for Physics (with Pierre Curie and Henri Becquerel) for her work on radioactivity. She held the chair of physics at the Sevres Higher Normal School for Girls, working there from 1900-6. Following the death of Pierre in 1906, she became assistant professor at the Sorbonne, Paris, and then full professor in 1908. Photograph by Eugene Pirou, Parisian photographer who was active at the end of the 19th century

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the brilliant Marie Curie, a renowned Polish-French physicist who made groundbreaking discoveries in the field of radioactivity. Born Marya Sklodowska in 1867, she later adopted her French name after marrying Pierre Curie. Together, they achieved a monumental feat by isolating the radioactive elements polonium and radium in 1898. Marie's exceptional contributions to science were recognized with not one, but two Nobel Prizes. In 1903, she shared the Nobel Prize for Physics with Pierre Curie and Henri Becquerel for their pioneering work on radioactivity. Then, in 1911, Marie became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize solo when she was awarded the prestigious honor for Chemistry due to her remarkable discoveries. Throughout her illustrious career, Marie held esteemed positions such as chair of physics at Sevres Higher Normal School for Girls from 1900-6. Following Pierre's untimely death in 1906, she continued to excel professionally as an assistant professor at Sorbonne University before eventually becoming a full professor in 1908. Captured by Eugene Pirou—a prominent Parisian photographer—the image exudes an air of intellectual prowess and determination that defined Marie's legacy. Her tireless pursuit of knowledge and unwavering dedication to scientific exploration have solidified her status as one of history's most influential female scientists. This print serves as a timeless reminder of Marie Curie's extraordinary achievements and enduring impact on both chemistry and physics during the early decades of the twentieth century.
