Ilya Ilyich Mechnikov, Russian microbiologist, c1900s(?). Artist: Nadar
Ilya Ilyich Mechnikov, Russian microbiologist, c1900s(?). Mechnikov (1845-1916) continued the work of Louis Pasteur, specialising in the study of the immune system. He discovered phagocytes, viral cells which destroy infective bacteria, for which he shared the 1908 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine with Paul Ehrlich. From a private collection

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the esteemed Russian microbiologist, Ilya Ilyich Mechnikov, in the early 1900s. The renowned artist Nadar skillfully portrays Mechnikov's intellectual prowess and dedication to scientific discovery. Mechnikov (1845-1916) is celebrated for his groundbreaking contributions to immunology, building upon the work of Louis Pasteur. His pioneering research led to the identification of phagocytes, viral cells that combat infectious bacteria within our bodies. This remarkable breakthrough earned him the prestigious Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1908, which he shared with Paul Ehrlich. The photograph showcases Mechnikov's distinguished appearance; a wise man with a full beard and an aura of intellectuality surrounding him. With a microscope by his side, symbolizing his commitment to meticulous observation and analysis, it becomes evident why he became one of Russia's most revered scientists. This rare image hails from a private collection and offers us a glimpse into the life and achievements of this extraordinary biologist. It serves as a testament to Mechnikov's invaluable contributions to science and medicine while highlighting his significant role in shaping our understanding of the immune system. As we admire this monochromatic portrait captured by Nadar, we are reminded not only of Mechnikov's brilliance but also his lasting impact on modern biology.
