Item description from seller

An excellent signed and inscribed 8.25 X 6.25 photograph by Alexander Fleming. The scientist is shown seated in a half-length pose within his laboratory at St. Mary´s Hospital in Paddington, London, surrounded by numerous specimen bottles, Petri dishes, a Bunsen burner and other microbiology equipment. A calendar hanging on the wall in the background dates the photograph to September 1943. Signed by Fleming in fountain pen ink to a light area at the base of the image, To my good friend Johnson Abraham, with kindest regards, Alexander Fleming. A rare and desirable signed image whose discovery of penicillin (which began on a mouldy Petri dish in 1928) marked the start of modern antibiotics. A few very light, extremely minor surface and corner creases, otherwise in fine condition. Rare and desirable in this format.
