Dmitri Mendeleev and Bohuslav Brauner
Dmitry Mendeleyev and Bohuslav Brauner. Mendeleyev (left, 1834-1907) was a Russian chemist, while Brauner (1855-1935) was a Czech chemist. Mendeleyev is famous for his work on organising trends in atomic weights and valency. From this work, he developed the first true periodic table of the elements (final version published in 1871). This contained some gaps, but new elements were later discovered to have the properties predicted by the table. Brauner worked on the same problems, and in 1902 he extended the periodic table downwards beyond lanthanum, predicting the existence of a new element between neodymium and samarium. Photographed in Prague, Czechoslovakia, on 1 April 1900

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the esteemed chemists, Dmitri Mendeleev and Bohuslav Brauner, in a moment frozen in time. The image showcases these two brilliant minds who made significant contributions to the field of chemistry during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Dmitri Mendeleev, known as the father of the periodic table, stands on the left side of the frame. His groundbreaking work organizing atomic weights and valency led to the development of the first true periodic table in 1871. This revolutionary creation predicted properties for elements that were later discovered. Beside him stands Bohuslav Brauner, a Czech chemist who shared similar interests with Mendeleev. In 1902, Brauner extended Mendeleev's periodic table downwards beyond lanthanum, accurately predicting an element between neodymium and samarium. The photograph was taken on April 1st, 1900 in Prague, Czechoslovakia - a historical moment where these two great minds united to discuss their research and exchange ideas. Both men exude wisdom and determination through their intense gazes captured by this monochrome portrait. This remarkable image serves as a testament to their invaluable contributions to scientific progress. It reminds us of how their predictions shaped our understanding of chemical elements and laid foundations for future discoveries.
