^Lot 235 Paul Ehrlich

German scientist (1854–1915) who pioneered (and coined the term) chemotherapy and, in his research on a cure for syphilis, developed the ‘magic bullet’ concept of selectively targeting a disease-causing organism. Ehrlich received the Nobel Prize for Medicine together with Ilya Ilyich Mechnikov in 1908. Vintage 3.25 x 5.25 German postcard photo, signed in fountain pen, “P. Ehrlich.” In very good condition, with moderate silvering working in from all four edges and some scattered trivial edge dings. Very rare in signed photos, this is the first we have encountered.
