This print showcases Pereyaslawzewa Sophie, a remarkable Russian woman biologist who made significant contributions to the field of marine science. Born in 1851 and passing away in 1903, she left an indelible mark on the scientific community. Sophie's academic achievements were truly impressive. She earned her Doctorate of Science from the prestigious University of Zurich, solidifying her expertise and knowledge in biology. Her passion for marine life led her to hold the esteemed position of Director at the Biological Station in Sebastopol for a decade, starting from 1878. Following this role, she continued her research as Chief Zoologist for two more years. Undeterred by geographical boundaries, Sophie embarked on extensive studies into marine ecosystems across various regions. From exploring the Gulf of Naples to investigating France's coastlines, she delved deep into understanding lower forms of marine life.
