(1822-1895) French Chemist & Microbiologist. A good vintage signed 10 x 13 engraving by Pasteur, the fine oval image being a proof by Henriquel-Dupont (1884) and depicting the chemist in a head and shoulders pose. With an attractive decorative border. Signed ('L Pasteur') in pencil to the lower margin with a few additional words ('Bon comme ton') in his hand, in French, approving the tone of the engraving. With a slightly illegible oval rubber stamp beneath the image dated 27th June 1884. Some extremely minor, light foxing to the white margins, otherwise VG
