Gustav Kirchhoff, Robert Bunsen and Henry Roscoe, scientists, c1860
Gustav Kirchhoff, Robert Bunsen and Henry Roscoe, scientists, c1860. Left to right: Gustav Robert Kirchhoff (1824-1887), German physicist; Robert Wilhelm Eberhard von Bunsen (1811-1899), German physicist and chemist; Henry Enfield Roscoe (1833-1915), English chemist. From History of Chemistry by Edward Thorpe. (London, 1910). Kirchhoff and Bunsens collaboration on spectrum analysis led, in 1859, to the discovery of caesium and rubidium. Roscoe was also a collaborator and friend of Bunsen, the two notably working together on comparative photochemistry

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures three brilliant minds in the field of science during the 19th century. On the left stands Gustav Robert Kirchhoff, a renowned German physicist known for his groundbreaking work on spectrum analysis. Next to him is Robert Wilhelm Bunsen, another influential German physicist and chemist who made significant contributions to various fields including spectroscopy. Completing this trio is Henry Enfield Roscoe, an English chemist who collaborated closely with Bunsen. Their collaboration on spectrum analysis led to a monumental discovery in 1859 - the identification of two new chemical elements: caesium and rubidium. This breakthrough revolutionized our understanding of chemistry and paved the way for further advancements in scientific research. The portrait showcases these remarkable scientists as they stand side by side, their expressions reflecting their dedication and passion for their work. The spectroscope held by Kirchhoff serves as a symbol of their shared interest in studying light spectra. Beyond their scientific achievements, this image also highlights the power of collaboration between individuals from different countries and backgrounds. These men transcended borders to push the boundaries of knowledge together. Preserved through time, this photograph reminds us of the immense impact that these innovators had on our understanding of physics, chemistry, and beyond. It serves as a testament to their enduring legacy as pioneers in their respective fields.
