Pierre and Marie Curie, French physicists, 1904
Pierre and Marie Curie, French physicists, 1904. Polish-born Marie Curie and her husband Pierre continued the work on radioactivity started by Henri Becquerel. In 1898, they discovered two new elements, polonium and radium. Marie did most of the work of producing these elements, and to this day her notebooks are still too radioactive to use. She went on to become the first woman to be awarded a doctorate in France, and continued her work after Pierres death in 1906. In 1903 they shared the Nobel Prize for Physics with Becquerel. Cartoon from Vanity Fair, London, December 1904

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the renowned French physicists, Pierre and Marie Curie, in 1904. Originally from Poland, Marie Curie and her husband Pierre carried on the groundbreaking research on radioactivity initiated by Henri Becquerel. In their scientific journey, they made a remarkable discovery in 1898 - two new elements named polonium and radium. Marie played a pivotal role in producing these elements; however, her notebooks still remain too radioactive for use even today. Marie's achievements extended beyond scientific breakthroughs as she became the first woman to earn a doctorate in France. Even after Pierre's untimely death in 1906, she continued her pioneering work relentlessly. Their exceptional contributions were recognized when they jointly received the Nobel Prize for Physics with Becquerel in 1903. The accompanying cartoon from Vanity Fair adds an artistic touch to this historical moment. It showcases the couple dressed elegantly while highlighting their occupation as scientists within a laboratory setting filled with equipment. This lithograph serves as a testament to their fame and influence during that time. With its vibrant colors and attention to detail, this print transports us back to early 20th-century France where these extraordinary individuals reshaped our understanding of physics and chemistry forever. The image not only celebrates their accomplishments but also pays tribute to Marie Curie's trailblazing journey as one of history's most prominent female scientists.
