Autograph of James D. Watson

Certified autograph of James D. Watson for the book "Genes, Girls and Gamow: After the Double Helix"

A copy of the memoir, signed by the author, is presented in a frame together with a photographic portrait of the scientist during the period of research into the structure of DNA. The publication "Genes, Girls and Gamow: After the Double Helix" continues his scientific and personal story after the publication of "The Double Helix" and reflects the atmosphere of the formation of molecular biology in the second half of the 20th century.

The signature is made on the book; the lot is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. The composition is decorated in a restrained museum style: the book block and the photograph are mounted on a contrasting passe-partout and placed in a classic frame. A decorative plaque with a quote associated with the scientist's name emphasizes the context of the scientific discussion of the era.

James D. Watson is the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (together with Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkinson). The presented copy is associated with the period of his active understanding of the history of discoveries and the role of the scientific community in the formation of modern genetics.

Recommended for private collections, as well as a thoughtful gift for researchers, doctors, teachers and connoisseurs of the history of science.
