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 matte-finish 3.25 x 5.25 German postcard photo of Ehrlich in a seated profile pose, signed in fountain pen, "P. Ehrlich." In fine condition, with light silvering to the perimeter of the image. Encapsulated in a PSA/DNA authentication holder.
