Pierre and Marie Curie, French physicists, preparing to go cycling
Pierre and Marie Curie, French physicists, preparing to go cycling. Polish-born Marie Curie and her husband Pierre continued the work on radioactivity started by Henri Becquerel. In 1898, they discovered two new elements, polonium and radium. Marie did most of the work of producing these elements, and to this day her notebooks are still too radioactive to use. She went on to become the first woman to be awarded a doctorate in France, and continued her work after Pierres death in 1906. In 1903 they shared the Nobel Prize for Physics with Becquerel. Marie won a second Nobel Prize, for chemistry, in 1911. (Colorised black and white print)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This colorized print captures the iconic French physicists, Pierre and Marie Curie, as they prepare to embark on a leisurely cycling adventure. Polish-born Marie Curie, known for her groundbreaking work in radioactivity alongside her husband Pierre, continued their research initiated by Henri Becquerel. In 1898, this brilliant duo made history by discovering two new elements - polonium and radium. While Marie dedicated herself to producing these elements, it is fascinating to note that even today her notebooks remain too radioactive for use. Marie's exceptional achievements did not stop there; she became the first woman in France to be awarded a doctorate degree and carried on with her scientific endeavors following Pierre's untimely demise in 1906. The couple's remarkable contributions were recognized when they shared the Nobel Prize for Physics with Becquerel in 1903. Furthermore, Marie went on to receive another Nobel Prize, this time in chemistry, in 1911. In this image of marital bliss combined with scientific prowess, we witness the relaxed demeanor of both Pierre and Marie as they embrace their love for cycling amidst picturesque countryside surroundings. This photograph serves as a testament to their extraordinary partnership while highlighting their significant roles within the fields of physics and chemistry during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
