EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of affectionate bonding between the legendary French scientist, Louis Pasteur (1822-1895), and his beloved granddaughter in 1886. The image, taken during the twilight years of Pasteur's illustrious career, offers a rare glimpse into the personal side of the man who revolutionized the fields of microbiology and immunology. Born in Dole, France, Pasteur is best known for his groundbreaking discoveries in the causes and preventions of diseases, including anthrax, rabies, and chicken cholera. His pioneering work in the germ theory of disease laid the foundation for modern medicine and saved countless lives. In this photograph, the wise and distinguished scientist is seated in a comfortable chair, dressed in a formal suit, with his granddaughter playfully resting on his lap. Her youthful curiosity and joy are evident as she gazes up at her grandfather with a smile. The tender expression on Pasteur's face reveals the depth of his love and connection with his family. The photograph was taken in 1886, a year before Pasteur's retirement from the Chair of Chemistry at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the human side of a scientific titan, whose discoveries continue to shape our understanding of the natural world and improve the human condition. This photograph is a precious treasure from the annals of history, offering a glimpse into the personal life of a man who left an indelible mark on the world of science and beyond. The image is part of the extensive collection of historical photographs at Mary Evans Picture Library and is a testament to the enduring power of family connections and the importance of preserving our past for future generations.
