Easily recognizable. He had no neck. But he was a really smart guy.
Art Siegel said:
Though the date written on the negative is 3/4/22, the medal he is wearing is from an electrical engineering convention in Cincinnati in August, 1915.
Arden said:
thank you randeclip and pennylrichardsca for the information about Charles Proteus Steinmetz. We will add more details to the image description.

Art Siegel said:
Where does Tammo fit in his name? It seems to be inconsistently treated in the various wikipedia entries, including de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Graf_von_Schwerin-L%C3%B6witz

He was president of the lower house of the Prussian diet or parliament, the Abgeordnetenhaus, or House of Representatives, from 1913-1918, when it was abolished.

The president of the upper house is in the next picture:
B-59 said:
The English wikipedia entry is obviously mistaken, Hans Axel Tammo Graf von Schwerin-Löwitz (short: Hans Graf von Schwerin) is the correct name, see e.g. www.deutsche-biographie.de/xsfz120439.html de.academic.ru/dic.nsf/dewiki/577408 home.foni.net/~adelsforschung/reichss.htm biblioteca.universia.net/html_bura/ficha/params/title/auf...
Art Siegel said:
Thanks. I made that change and a few others in the English Wikipedia entry, but it still needs a lot of work. Some of it reads like a translation of a translation.

Portrait of Walther Nernst (1864-1941), Chemist

from Smithsonian Institution

pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:
Prussian-born Nernst (1864-1941) won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry (1920): nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/1920/nern... Here he is as an older man: Given the later portrait, it seems unlikely this image was made in 1941.

Thank you for taking the time to comment on our photo! Since these photos were acquired from various print dealers by our donor, Bern Dibner, in the 1940’s, our records for the collection are a bit sparse. Your comments have been extremely valuable in helping us update information for this image. Since the exact date of this image is still unknown, we've changed the date to read "Prior to 1941".
