Who is the Man in the Portrait in Artie Moore's Shack?

 


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?

    A Bing.com visual search suggests Sir William Ramsay, a Nobel winning chemist.
    If you look at this slightly higher res photo:

    You can almost see the name, William Ramsay, written on the upper right of the portrait in script.
    Best Regards,

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
