CURIE, Pierre (1859–1906), French physicist, pioneer of radioactivity, discoverer of radium and polonium, and recipient of the 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics. Autographed business card, printed “Pierre Curie. Lecturer at the Faculty of Sciences. 108 Kellermann Boulevard.” No place, no date. 5.8 x 9.6 cm. Crease. Exceptional document: “I have just been told that Dr. Landan in London has killed frogs with radium emanation. I am sending you approximately 28 grams-hours of emanation.” A fascinating document linking the two most important researchers in the field of radium. In 1903, the Russian physician and biochemist Efim Semenovich London or Landan (1869–1939) conducted the very first studies on the physiological effects of radium on frogs to analyze its toxicity and radioactivity.
