The Biochemical Society will be 100 years old in 2011, and this centenary will be the occasion for much celebration and nostalgia. The anniversary publications and displays will be accompanied by photographs of the pioneers who established the Society, and this photographic record will smooth out their individuality and leave just a single overall impression – of a group of wing-collared, waist-coated, watch-chained and walrus-moustached middle-aged men! We have been exploring how representative a picture this is of the early biochemical community in Britain.
