View of Frederic Joliot-Curie

Frederic Joliot-Curie, French physicist, born in Paris on March 19th, 1900, died in Paris on August 14th, 1958. Joliot obtained a degree in engineering & in 1925 became assistant to Marie Curie, marrying her daughter Irene in 1926 when they began working together on radioactivity as the Curies had done before them. In 1934, they were rewarded with the discovery of " artificial radioactivity" in an isotope of phosphorus, which earned them the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1935. Joliot-Curies subsequent work on nuclear chain reactions, interrupted by wartime resistance activities, led to the development of an independent French nuclear capability

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 mind and remarkable achievements of Frederic Joliot-Curie, a renowned French physicist. Born in Paris on March 19th, 1900, Joliot-Curie's scientific journey began when he became an assistant to Marie Curie in 1925. His collaboration with Marie's daughter Irene led them to work together on radioactivity, following in the footsteps of their famous predecessors. In 1934, this dynamic duo made a groundbreaking discovery known as "artificial radioactivity" within an isotope of phosphorus. This significant achievement earned them the prestigious Nobel Prize in chemistry the following year. Their pioneering research not only expanded our understanding of atomic science but also laid the foundation for future advancements in nuclear technology. Joliot-Curie's contributions extended beyond his scientific pursuits. During World War II, he actively participated in resistance activities against Nazi occupation, temporarily interrupting his work on nuclear chain reactions. However, it was precisely these studies that ultimately paved the way for France to develop its own independent nuclear capability. As we gaze upon this portrait captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of Joliot-Curie's enduring legacy as a Nobel laureate and developer of crucial scientific breakthroughs. His name will forever be associated with profound discoveries that shaped our understanding of radioactivity and contributed significantly to humanity's quest for knowledge about atomic structures and energy sources.
