Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
Watson and Crick, DNA discovers
Watson and Crick. Caricature of the molecular biologists and discoverers of the structure of DNA James Watson (born 1928, left) and Francis Crick (1916-2004), with their model of a DNA molecule. Watson, an American, and Crick, British, met at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge, in 1951. Their work on DNA was performed with a knowledge of Chargaffs ratios of the bases in DNA and access to the X-ray crystallography of Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin at Kings College London. Combining this knowledge led to the deduction that DNA exists as a double helix. Crick, Watson and Wilkins shared the 1962 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, Franklin having died in 1958

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic duo of James Watson and Francis Crick, the brilliant molecular biologists who revolutionized our understanding of DNA. Depicted in a comical caricature style, Watson and Crick are seen proudly posing with their model of a DNA molecule. Born in 1928, James Watson is an American scientist while Francis Crick, who sadly passed away in 2004, was British. Their groundbreaking collaboration began at the prestigious Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge back in 1951. Equipped with Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin's X-ray crystallography data from King's College London and knowledge of Chargaff's ratios of bases in DNA, these pioneers deduced that DNA exists as a double helix. Their remarkable achievements were honored with the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1962 alongside Maurice Wilkins. Tragically, Rosalind Franklin had already passed away by then but her contributions to this monumental discovery cannot be overlooked. This historical illustration showcases not only their scientific brilliance but also their playful personalities against a simple white background. The monochrome artwork adds a touch of nostalgia to this portrayal of two extraordinary individuals whose collaborative efforts forever changed the field of biology. The print serves as a reminder of how teamwork and interdisciplinary research can lead to groundbreaking discoveries that shape our understanding of life itself – making it an invaluable addition to any collection celebrating scientific achievements throughout history.
