Rare original photograph of the SS Euripides signed by the father of nuclear physics, Ernest Rutherford and 21 other scientists and crew members present on the 1914 voyage from England to Australia for the annual meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. Signed by Rutherford, his wife Mary Rutherford, engineer Thomas Hudson Beare, psychologist Charles W. Kimmins, anthropologist John Layard, physicist Joseph Petavel, neurologist and psychologist W. H. R. Rivers, chemist Henry Tizard, and the ship's surgeon C.L. Wigam among others. In near fine condition. Matted and framed, the entire piece measures 16 inches by 15 inches. Rare and desirable, signed in the year of the outbreak of the first World War, which the members of the voyage only learned of upon arrival in Australia. One of the greatest experimentalists in the history of science, New Zealand-born British physicist Ernest Rutherford came to be known as the father of nuclear physics and was awarded the 1908 Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for his investigations into the disintegration of the elements, and the chemistry of radioactive substances", for which he was the first Canadian and Oceanian Nobel laureate. Rutherford traveled in 1914 with a selection of the most renowned British scientists aboard the SS Euripides to Australia for the annual meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. Scheduled with the intent to promote the sciences, the event was somewhat overshadowed when, after travelling thousands of miles from their home in England, the members arrived to discover that the world was at war.
