Rutherford, Geiger, Chadwick Meitner etc
Group portrait (1932) of physicists and chemists who greatly contributed, in the first half of this century, to improve the understanding of the atomic structure. Identified here from left to right and seated are: Sir James Chadwick, the discoverer of the neutron (1932), Hans Geiger, who invented a counter for charged nuclear particles, and Sir Ernest Rutherford who is considered to be the father of nuclear physics. Standing from left to right are: Gyorgy Hevesy, who introduced the use of radioactive tracers to biological systems, Mrs Geiger, Lise Meitner and Otto Hahn. The last two, in 1939, obtained the first nuclear fission

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in the history of science. In this group portrait from 1932, we see some of the most brilliant minds who revolutionized our understanding of atomic structure. Seated on the left is Sir James Chadwick, renowned for his groundbreaking discovery of the neutron just that year. Next to him sits Hans Geiger, credited with inventing a counter for charged nuclear particles, which became an essential tool in further research. The central figure in this portrait is none other than Sir Ernest Rutherford, often referred to as the father of nuclear physics. His pioneering work laid the foundation for countless advancements in this field. Standing proudly beside them are Gyorgy Hevesy and Otto Hahn, both instrumental figures in their own right. But it doesn't end there – two remarkable women also grace this photograph. Lise Meitner and Mrs Geiger stand tall as symbols of female excellence amidst a male-dominated scientific community. Their contributions cannot be overlooked; together they achieved a monumental breakthrough by obtaining the first nuclear fission in 1939. This group portrait captures not only their individual brilliance but also serves as a testament to collaboration and shared knowledge that propelled humanity's understanding forward during those transformative years. It stands as a reminder that progress is made through collective efforts rather than solitary achievements alone.
