Dmitry Mendeleyev, Russian chemist
Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleyev (1834-1907), Russian chemist. Mendeleyev (or Mendeleev) was initially an indifferent student, but left college at the top of his class. After attending the 1st Karlsruhe Congress (1860), Mendelayev worked on organising trends in atomic weights and valency. From this, he developed the first true periodic table of the elements (final version published in 1871). This contained some gaps, but as new elements were discovered to have the properties predicted by the table, Mendeleyev became famous worldwide. This image was created on 1 June 1900

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Dmitry Mendeleyev, a renowned Russian chemist who revolutionized the world of science. Born in 1834, Mendeleyev's journey from an indifferent student to a brilliant mind is truly inspiring. After attending the groundbreaking 1st Karlsruhe Congress in 1860, Mendeleyev dedicated himself to organizing atomic weights and valency trends. His relentless efforts led him to develop the very first authentic periodic table of elements, which was published in its final form in 1871. Although it contained some gaps at that time, as new elements were discovered and found to possess properties predicted by his table, Mendeleyev gained worldwide fame for his remarkable achievement. The image itself dates back to June 1st, 1900 - capturing Mendeleyev during his sixties. It portrays a distinguished European man with an air of wisdom and intellect. As one gazes upon this photograph, they are transported back into history where chemistry was being reshaped by this visionary scientist. Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleyev's legacy lives on through this powerful image captured by Science Photo Library. It serves as a testament to his contributions towards advancing our understanding of chemical elements and their behavior within the natural world. This print encapsulates not only the brilliance of one man but also represents a pivotal moment in scientific history that continues to shape our present-day knowledge.
