JOHN TILESTON EDSALL 1902 - 2002 was an early protein scientist who contributed significantly to the understanding of the hydrophobic interaction. For more than half of the twentieth century John T. Edsall class of 1923 was a guiding spirit and constant contributor to the rise of biochemistry at Harvard and in the world through his research teaching mentoring writing editing and moral influence. Following graduation from Harvard College he entered Harvard Medical School but anticipating an academic career he then spent two years studying biochemistry at Cambridge University before returning to Harvard for a MD degree in 1928. Edsall's devotion to teaching was extraordinary. In 1928 he became a Tutor in the newly formed concentration of Biochemical Sciences and continued in this role for forty years serving as Head Tutor for more than twenty years. In 1954 he moved to the Biological Laboratories. While he found the last two years of medical school disappointing he compensated by joining Edwin J. Cohn's Department of Physical Chemistry where some of the earliest studies on protein physical chemistry were underway. Thus began a long research career devoted to proteins and their constituent amino acids. His early work contributed mightily to establishing proteins as uniquely structured large molecules deserving the same intense study that had become commonplace in the chemistry of small molecules. John's early studies dealt with the size and shape of the principal proteins in muscle and blood their states of ionization the role of constituent polar and hydrophobic amino acids in stabilizing protein structure and the vital role of ever-present water. He was the first to describe the phenomenon that is the central feature of hydrophobic interactions. No one contributed more than Edsall to the establishment of high standards and effective communication in protein science. In 1944 he co-founded Advances in Protein Chemistry an annual cutting-edge review written by experts. He continued as editor for fifty years leaving a vast legacy of judicious selection and authoritative presentations. He further left his imprint on the scientific literature in biochemistry by editing the Journal of Biological Chemistry the leading publication in the field for a decade. EDWIN JOSEPH COHN 1892-1953 was a protein scientist. A graduate of the University of Chicago 1914 PhD 1917 he made important advances in the physical chemistry of proteins. In 1928 as group leader at Harvard Medical School Cohn was able to concentrate by a factor of 50 to 100 times the vital factor in raw liver juice which had been shown by Minot and Murphy to be the only known specific treatment for pernicious anemia. Cohn's contribution allowed practical treatment of this previously incurable and fatal illness for the next 20 years. Cohn became famous for his work on blood fractionation during World War II. In particular he worked out the techniques for isolating the serum albumin fraction of blood plasma which is essential for maintaining the osmotic pressure in the blood vessels. Transfusions with purified albumin on the battlefield rescued thousands of soldiers from shock. After the war Cohn worked to develop systems by which every component of donated blood would be used so that nothing would be wasted. hardcover books
réf. 12426London 1980. Lithograph. Number 2 from an edition of 4. Signed by the artist in pencil lower right. Very good condition apart from a mild surface abrasion in the lower right corner of the sheet. A lively early print by the progressive contemporary British artist David Ferry. A printmaker and photomontage specialist who has lectured and exhibited his works worldwide David Ferry was born in Blackpool in 1957. After studying at the Blackpool College of Technology he trained at the prestigious Camberwell School of Art and Crafts and the Slade School of Fine Art in London. His first solo exhibition was held at the 1984 International Contemporary Art Fair at London's Barbican Centre and he made his first significant U.S. debut in 2000 as a visiting professor at Southampton College New York with an exhibition entitled David Ferry from the window seat at the Avram Gallery. In addition to his many lithographs and photomontages Ferry's oeuvre includes numerous artist books some of which featured in the 1999 touring exhibition and catalogue Aspects of Our National Heritage. His abstract works frequently have a satirical edge and the influence of his self-professed fascination with the surreal and the comical is particularly evident in those images representing his subjective interpretation of particular places and historical events. In 2002 he was awarded an important grant from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation. His work can be found at the Ashmolean Museum Oxford; the Museum of Modern Art New York; the Scottish Museum of Modern Art; the Art Institute Chicago; the Art Museum of Estonia; and in many corporate and university collections. He has had recent solo exhibitions in Berlin Brighton London New York Seoul and Poznan. unknown

A lively early work by the progressive contemporary British artist David Ferry. A printmaker and photomontage specialist who has lectured and exhibited his works worldwide David Ferry was born in Blackpool in 1957. After studying at the Blackpool College of Technology he trained at the prestigious Camberwell School of Art and Crafts and the Slade School of Fine Art in London. His first solo exhibition was held at the 1984 International Contemporary Art Fair at London's Barbican Centre and he made his first significant U.S. debut in 2000 as a visiting professor at Southampton College New York with an exhibition entitled David Ferry from the window seat at the Avram Gallery. In addition to his many lithographs and photomontages Ferry's oeuvre includes numerous artist books some of which featured in the 1999 touring exhibition and catalogue Aspects of Our National Heritage. His abstract works frequently have a satirical edge and the influence of his self-professed fascination with the surreal and the comical is particularly evident in those images representing his subjective interpretation of particular places and historical events. Ferry currently teaches printmaking at the Winchester School of Art and is also a curriculum advisor for a national print study center in Cambridge. In 2002 he was awarded an important grant from the Pollock-Krasner to fund the creation of new works for a future exhibition in New York. unknown books
