Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, German physicist, (c1924)
Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, German physicist, (c1924). On 8 November 1895, Roentgen (or Rontgen, 1845-1923) discovered what came to be known as X-rays. He noticed that when a current was passed though a Crookes tube covered with a piece of black card, a nearby piece of paper painted with barium cyanide fluoresced. Later, he found that these X-rays passed through flesh, enabling the bones to be clearly seen. In 1901, he was the first recipient of the Nobel Prize for Physics

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, a renowned German physicist, in approximately 1924. Roentgen's groundbreaking discovery of X-rays on 8 November 1895 revolutionized the field of medicine and radiography. In this image, his distinguished features are highlighted by a full beard that adds to his air of wisdom and expertise. Roentgen's scientific curiosity led him to notice that when he passed an electric current through a Crookes tube covered with black card, nearby barium cyanide-painted paper fluoresced. Further experimentation revealed that these mysterious X-rays had the ability to penetrate flesh, allowing for clear visualization of bones within the human body. Recognizing the significance of his findings, Roentgen was awarded the first Nobel Prize for Physics in 1901. This portrait showcases a man who not only made groundbreaking contributions to science but also embodies the spirit of innovation and intellectual pursuit during the late 19th century. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and timelessness to this collectible photograph. As we gaze upon Roentgen's intense expression and contemplate his immense impact on both physics and medicine, we are reminded of how one individual can forever change our understanding of the world around us.
