The picture shows Bohr participating in what would become one of the most important physic conferences in the second half of the 20th century. Here CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, was established. Niels Bohr had been one of the central figures in the development of atomic theory in the early 20th century and was the father to the exceedingly important Copenhagen Interpretation. These merits made him the head of the theoretical division of CERN which was located in Copenhagen. ""In Geneva the representatives of 12 European governments signed the convention setting up the interim organization, which came into being on 15 February 1952 with the title of ""European Council for Nuclear Research"", called ""CERN"" for short after the initials of the French title. Belgium, Denmark, France, the German Federal Republic, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and Yugoslavia were then provisionally united to carry out nuclear research. During the whole lifetime of the interim CERN, the United Kingdom remained simply an observer, although the interest shown in the project by that country soon took the shape of new ideas, the provision of consultants and gifts.""

NN - GHENT - GENT - GAND - World Exhibition 1913 - Photography Album :
Reference : 41215
Photography album containing 99 original photographs of the 1913 Ghent World Exhibition.
".: 6. Gent, 1913, oblong in-4°, 24 x 31 cm, 99 original photographs mounted recto and verso on 24 stiff boards, photo size varies but mainly around 80 x 110 mm , album bound in half cloth. The photographs depict the outside of the exhibition buildings ( 45 pictures) , the reconstruction of an african (senegalese) village ( 6 pictures) ; ''Veille Flandre'' (30 pictures), two snapshots of the royal visit at the exhibition ; 7 views of the city and of the surrounding countryside and 4 pictures of the interior of a flower exhibition ( presentation of the Dutch flower growers of Aalsmeer). The photographs, allthough not made by a professional photographer are technically well made and give a good idea of the exhibition. The Senegalese Village pictures show the still very colonial and patronising view of the Europeans on African society. It only very recently ( in 2013) led to a ''pre - political correctness'' controversy whereby the mayor of Ghent offered apologies for the racist misdemeanour of the former exhibition organisers. ( Bear in mind that surrealism partly originated in Belgium ).The ''Veille Flandre '' part of the exhibition was a recurring theme at belgian world exhibitions. It evokes the [mythical] flamboyant and exuberant flemish life style of mediaeval times. Its architecture rather resembles the actual centre of Bruges."
