'Nikolaus Kopernikus', (1933). Portrait of mathematician and astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) whose revolutionary model of the universe was a major event in the history of science. His heliocentric hypothesis recognised that the Sun, rather than the Earth, is at the centre of our universe. From "Gestalten Der Weltgeschichte", a book of cigarette-card portrait miniatures of figures in world history from the last four hundred years. [Germany, 1933]
