JONAS SALK
Half view of the medical hero in tie and jacket
Photograph inscribed and signed: "To Dennis Daniels/All best wishes/Jonas
Salk". In 1952, over 58,000 cases of polio were reported in the United
States. These claimed over 3,000 lives, and left over 20,000 persons, mostly
children, with mild to disabling paralysis. Among Americans of that era, only
the atomic bomb was more feared than polio. In 1953, after 6 years of
intense research, Dr. Jonas Salk (1914-1995) of the University of Pittsburgh
School of Medicine developed the first polio vaccine, which was proven
effective in field tests and introduced to the public in 1955. The
publicity-shy Salk declined New York's offer of a ticker tape parade, but was
the recipient of countless honors and tributes from around the world. He gave
away the patent rights, considering it sufficient compensation that millions
of children were saved from injury and death. In 1963 he founded the Salk
Institute for Biological Studies, La Jolla, California, and was working his
vaunted 16-hour days in search of an AIDS vaccine when he died at age 80. Salk
was the author of several books. Image slightly grainy. Creased at upper left
and lower right blank corners and lower blank edge. Adequate contrast.
Otherwise, fine condition.
