79 Signed Berks Einstein photo Bigeleisen Manhattan Project Chemist Oppenheimer

  

Jacob Bigeleisen (pronounced BEEG-a-lie-zen; May 2, 1919 - August 7, 2010) was an American chemist who worked on the Manhattan Project on techniques to extract uranium-235 from uranium ore, an isotope that can sustain nuclear fission and would be used in developing an atomic bomb but that is less than 1% of naturally occurring uranium. Robert Berks (April 26, 1922 - May 16, 2011) was an American sculptor, industrial designer and planner. He created hundreds of bronze sculptures and monuments including the Mary McLeod Bethune Memorial, iconic Robert Kennedy bust, and the important Albert Einstein Memorial in Washington, D. This framed photograph was presented to BIGELEISEN in appreciation for his work on the Manhattan project. Signed by the artist with dedication.

One of a kind piece, perfect for any collector of American history or science enthusiast. Beautiful original vintage frame with curved corners made expertly of teak.
