Original 4.25 x 6.5 cabinet photo by Pierre Petit of Paris, signed in the lower border in black ink, “L. Pasteur, Mai 1886.” Some pale spotting throughout, not affecting signature or facial area, otherwise fine condition. Less than a year earlier, he had used his still-experimental rabies vaccine on his first human patient. Hailed as a hero, the success of the vaccine resulted in the building of the first Pasteur Institute. Beautifully signed, Pasteur photos are quite uncommon.
