Description
A group portrait of Ivan Pavlov and four other men. Pavlov stands in the middle, talking, his finger outstretched as if in instruction.
An original typescript caption verso reads: “Prof. Pavlov talking in one of the operating rooms. This shows his animated and characteristic attitude when talking of physiology. Other present are Dr. Koupalov, Dr. Zelheim, Dr. Gantt. A candle is shown on the table which was used to operate by when there was no electric lights.”
One of a group of nine photographs sent to Thomas Renton Elliott FRS (1877-1961), apparently by Pavlov and presented by Elliott to Hugh Sinclair in 1945-1946.
Possibly taken at the Institute for Experimental Medicine, St Petersburg, Russia. Pavlov was the Director of the Institute’s Physiology Department from 1890 until the end of his life.
Ivan Petrovich Pavlov (1849-1936) Russian physiologist was elected a Foreign Member of the Royal Society in 1907.
