Who is this person? He is in a prominent position in Artie Moore’s very early radio shack. Artie was obviously big on labeling things, and there is a label under the picture but I can’t make it out. What do you folks think? Who is this?
Who is the Man in the Portrait in Artie Moore’s Shack?
Looks like William Ramsay
Yes, William Ramsay. Thanks to all: Bill – A Bing.com visual search suggests Sir William Ramsay, a Nobel winning chemist. If you look at this slightly higher res photo: https://www.peoplescollection.wales/sites/default/files/images/2022/January/Arthur%20Artie%20Moore%27s%20Amateur%20Radio%20Equipment.jpg?itok=BbFYv8zP You can almost see the name, William Ramsay, written on the upper right of the portrait in script.

I did a bit of work trying to find out who he was but was unsuccessful. I just tried the Bing visual search and William Ramsay was the first suggestion. Thanks to the person with that advice. Trevor
Bill, he is Sir William Ramsay, a Scottish Chemist. I used Topaz software to clean up his picture, then I used Google reverse image lookup to find him. Topaz uses AI. I did this work for you before I read the comments. Kudos for the other comments before me. And may everyone have a beautiful Soldersmoke day! N8WQ.
