Item #31535
4 1/2" x 6 3/4" piece of stationery headed, "The Autograph Collection of Howes Norris, Jr." Two autograph lines in German, signed Heinrich Wieland. Heinrich Wieland was a German chemist. He won the 1927 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his research into the bile acids. Wieland tried successfully to protect people, especially Jewish students, who were "racially burdened" after the Nuremberg Laws. Students who were expelled because they were "racially burdened" could stay in Heinrich Wieland's group as chemists or as "Gäste des Geheimrats" (guests of the privy councillor). Three tiny pieces of tape on verso from mounting, faint offset from newspaper clipping.
