Watson and Crick with their DNA model
COMMERCIAL USE REQUIRES CLEARANCE. The discoverers of the structure of DNA. James Watson (b.1928) at left and Francis Crick (1916-2004), with their model of part of a DNA molecule in 1953. Crick & Watson met at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge, in 1951. Their work on the structure of DNA was performed with a knowledge of Chargaffs ratios of the bases in DNA and some access to the X-ray crystallography of Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin at Kings College London. Combining all of this work led to the deduction that DNA exists as a double helix. Crick, Watson and Wilkins shared the 1962 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, Franklin having died of cancer in 1958. Photographed in the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge, UK, in May 1953

31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 captures the historic moment when James Watson and Francis Crick, two brilliant minds in the field of genetics, proudly pose with their groundbreaking DNA model. Taken in May 1953 at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge, this image symbolizes a monumental leap forward in our understanding of life's building blocks. Watson (b. 1928) stands on the left side of the frame, exuding youthful enthusiasm and determination. Crick (1916-2004), his partner-in-discovery, stands beside him with an air of quiet confidence. Together, they embarked on a scientific journey that would forever change our perception of genetics. Their collaboration began in 1951 at the renowned Cavendish Laboratory where they combined their knowledge with Maurice Wilkins' X-ray crystallography findings from Kings College London. Building upon Chargaff's ratios of DNA bases, Watson and Crick deduced that DNA exists as a double helix structure - one of science's most significant breakthroughs. In recognition of their remarkable achievement, Watson, Crick, and Wilkins were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1962. Tragically absent from this accolade was Rosalind Franklin who had contributed immensely to unraveling DNA's structure but sadly passed away before her work received due recognition. This photograph serves as a testament to teamwork and collaboration within scientific endeavors. It immortalizes these pioneering scientists whose unwavering dedication unlocked nature's genetic code – paving the way for countless advancements in medicine and biology that continue to shape our world today.
