Portraits of two Nobel laureate physicists from the University of California, Berkeley: Glenn T. Seaborg and Luis W. Alvarez. Sittings were trial sessions for an intended project for the National Portrait Gallery that was never undertaken, according to the photographer. Additions include copies of portraits, as well as contact proofs depicting a quartz fiber electroscope, Seaborg posing with the table of elements, an assortment of medals, office and laboratory scenes, and portraits of Richard E. Packard. Additions also include original negatives of these prints.
