Louis Pasteur, French chemist and founder of modern bacteriology, 1887
Louis Pasteur, French chemist and founder of modern bacteriology, 1887. Pasteur (1822-1895) holding rabbits used in his work on hydrophobia (rabies). Pasteur developed the pasteurisation process which kills pathogens in milk, wine and foods, and he produced vaccines against anthrax and rabies. In 1884 he was appointed Professor of Chemistry at the University of Lille where he researched the reasons why some alcohols turn sour, discovering in the process, that by heating liquid to a certain temperature, the bacteria were killed. Cartoon from Vanity Fair, January 1887

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the renowned French chemist and founder of modern bacteriology, Louis Pasteur, in 1887. In this image, Pasteur is depicted holding rabbits that were instrumental in his groundbreaking research on hydrophobia, also known as rabies. A visionary scientist ahead of his time, Pasteur revolutionized the field of microbiology with his discoveries and inventions. Notably, Pasteur developed the pasteurization process which effectively eliminates harmful pathogens from milk, wine, and various foods. His pioneering work extended to producing vaccines against anthrax and rabies – a monumental achievement that saved countless lives. In addition to his scientific contributions, Pasteur held the esteemed position of Professor of Chemistry at the University of Lille starting in 1884. It was during this tenure that he delved into understanding why certain alcohols sour by heating liquids to specific temperatures – an investigation that led him to discover how bacteria could be killed through heat treatment. The accompanying cartoon from Vanity Fair published in January 1887 adds a touch of whimsy to this portrait. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, it pays homage to Pasteur's immense impact on science while showcasing his distinctive personality. Louis Pasteur's legacy endures as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance in unraveling nature's mysteries for the betterment of society. This lithograph serves as a powerful reminder not only of his remarkable achievements but also highlights the significant advancements made during the nineteenth century in medicine and scientific exploration.
