Henri Becquerel (1852-1908) French physicist. In 1896 Becquerel discovered that uranium

Henri Becquerel (1852-1908) French physicist. In 1896 Becquerel discovered that uranium, when placed on a sealed, light-tight photographic plate, exposed the plate, producing an image of the uranium on the developed plate. He deduced that uranium was emitting an invisible but penetrating radiation. In 1903 he shared the Nobel prize for physics with Pierre and Marie Curie. Photograph by Nadar, Paris. Nadar was the pseudonym of Gaspard-Felix Tournachon (1820-1910) French journalist, artist and photographer. 19th century

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the brilliant mind of Henri Becquerel, a renowned French physicist who made groundbreaking discoveries in the late 19th century. In 1896, while experimenting with uranium, Becquerel stumbled upon an astonishing phenomenon. Placing the uranium on a sealed and light-tight photographic plate, he was astounded to find that it exposed the plate and created an image of the uranium when developed. This revelation led him to deduce that uranium emitted an invisible yet penetrating radiation. The photograph itself is a testament to both scientific achievement and artistic finesse. Taken by Nadar, the pseudonym of Gaspard-Felix Tournachon, a multi-talented French journalist, artist, and photographer from the 19th century. Nadar's expertise behind the lens beautifully captures Becquerel's intellectual prowess. Becquerel's remarkable contributions did not go unnoticed; in 1903 he shared the prestigious Nobel Prize for Physics with Pierre and Marie Curie for their collective advancements in understanding radiation. This accolade solidified his status as one of history's most influential scientists. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded of Becquerel's pioneering spirit and unwavering curiosity that forever changed our understanding of atomic physics. It serves as a timeless tribute to his legacy as well as an exquisite example of Nadar's skillful artistry behind the camera lens during this transformative period in scientific exploration.
