Pierre and Marie Curie, French scientists, at work in the laboratory
Pierre and Marie Curie, French scientists, at work in the laboratory. Polish-born Marie Curie (1867-1934) and her husband Pierre (1859-1906) 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

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the renowned French scientists, Pierre and Marie Curie, diligently at work in their laboratory. Hailing from Poland, Marie Curie (1867-1934) and her husband Pierre (1859-1906) carried on the groundbreaking research on radioactivity initiated by Henri Becquerel. In 1898, they made a monumental discovery by identifying two new elements: polonium and radium. Notably, it was Marie who spearheaded the production of these elements, although her notebooks remain too radioactive for use even today. Marie's exceptional contributions to science extended beyond her pioneering research. She became the first woman in France to be awarded a doctorate degree and continued her scientific pursuits following Pierre's untimely death in 1906. Their remarkable achievements were recognized when they jointly received the Nobel Prize for Physics alongside Becquerel in 1903. This image not only showcases their unwavering dedication to advancing scientific knowledge but also highlights their enduring partnership as a married couple. It serves as a testament to Marie Curie's trailblazing role as one of history's most influential female scientists. The photograph offers us a glimpse into an era characterized by significant advancements in physics and chemistry during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The presence of various laboratory equipment underscores their commitment to meticulous experimentation. As we admire this snapshot from history captured by Henri Becquerel himself, we are reminded of the immense impact that these brilliant minds have had on our understanding of radioactivity and how it has shaped modern science forevermore.
