Henri Becquerel, French physicist, c1890s. Artist: Nadar
Henri Becquerel, French physicist, c1890s. In 1896 Becquerel (1852-1908) 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

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the renowned French physicist, Henri Becquerel, in the late 1890s. Taken by the talented artist Nadar, this image showcases Becquerel's intellectual prowess and contribution to scientific discovery. In 1896, Becquerel made a groundbreaking revelation that forever changed our understanding of radiation. Through his experiments with uranium placed on a sealed photographic plate, he observed that it exposed the plate and produced an image of the uranium upon development. This led him to deduce that uranium emitted invisible yet penetrating radiation. Becquerel's remarkable findings earned him recognition as a Nobel Prize winner in Physics alongside Pierre and Marie Curie in 1903. His discoveries paved the way for further advancements in nuclear physics and had profound implications for various fields of science. This photograph not only immortalizes Henri Becquerel but also serves as a testament to his significant contributions to humanity's knowledge of radiation. It encapsulates his dedication to unraveling the mysteries of nature through meticulous experimentation. As we gaze upon this monochrome portrait from over a century ago, we are reminded of Becquerel's enduring legacy as one of France's most esteemed scientists. His work continues to inspire future generations who strive to push boundaries and unlock new frontiers within the realm of physics.
