1. Title: "Nathaniel Charles Rothschild (1877-1923) - Entomologist and Discoverer of the Plague Vector Flea". This monochrome portrait captures the profile of Nathaniel Charles Rothschild (1877-1923), the younger brother of Sir Walter Rothschild, the founder of Tring Museum in England. Charles, a distinguished banker by profession, was also an avid entomologist, adding a fascinating scientific dimension to his illustrious family lineage. Charles' passion for entomology led him to make a groundbreaking discovery in Shendi, Sudan, in 1898. He identified Xenopsylla cheopis, the plague vector flea, which played a significant role in the transmission of the bubonic plague. This discovery was a crucial contribution to the scientific community, as it paved the way for understanding the disease's origins and potential prevention methods. In this formal portrait, Nathaniel Charles Rothschild is depicted in a side view, wearing a suit and sporting a moustache. His intense gaze and serious expression reflect his dedication to his scientific pursuits. The image, reminiscent of a historic era, highlights the man behind the scientific breakthrough, showcasing his professional demeanor and the intellectual curiosity that fueled his groundbreaking work in entomology. This archival print, available through Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable individual whose contributions to science have left a lasting impact on our understanding of diseases and their vectors.
