EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed bacteriologist, Alexander Fleming, who was awarded the Nobel prize in 1945. The image depicts Fleming in profile, his distinguished features captured in relief on a medal. Surrounding him is elegant French text that adds an air of sophistication to this historical artifact. Fleming's groundbreaking discovery of penicillin in 1928 revolutionized medicine and paved the way for antibiotics as we know them today. However, it wasn't until eleven years later that Howard Florey and Sir Ernst Chain perfected a method to produce this volatile drug. Together with these colleagues, Fleming shared the prestigious Nobel prize for their remarkable achievement. The photograph also highlights Fleming's notable career trajectory. In 1938, he was appointed professor of bacteriology at London University, further solidifying his position as a leading figure in scientific research during the mid-20th century. As we gaze upon this portrait of Alexander Fleming, we are reminded not only of his significant contributions to science but also of his perseverance and patience while awaiting recognition for his groundbreaking work. This image serves as a testament to the power of human ingenuity and collaboration in advancing medical knowledge and improving countless lives worldwide.
