A Facebook or Who’s Who of it’s time, this album portrays leading scientists at the turn of the 20th century.
As JF Ptak Science Books online states” This scarce publication--Bildnisse zeitgennossischer Physiker--is a collection of about 320 portraits of leading physicists, collected together as an homage to Viktor von Lang on the occasion of his 70th birthday….The physicist are from Germany, France, the UK, Spain, the U.S., Russia, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Italy, Hungary, Japan, and a few other countries.”Interesting to note here are the three portraits of women physicists: Margaret Maltby (Barnard, and first woman to receive a doctorate from a German university); A. Serdobinskaja (St. Petersburg); and O. Steindler (Vienna).”
A true rare book as less than ten are seen online, with many in libraries around the world. The faces may have seen a variety of fates as Europe saw two World Wars starting shortly after.
