As my avatar suggests, I'm very interested in the physiology of diving (points if you know who that is).

Hi Curt,

Unless I'm very much mistaken, it's Haldane, wearing a Rouquayrol-Denayrouze "scuba" (feels weird to use scuba for an appliance invented years before the acronym). I've never seen that picture, where did you get it, if I may ask ?

Welcome btw.

Yup...a few of you smart people nailed that it's John Scott Haldane, circa 1906 (approx.).

The image can be found a few places online, but I believe the appropriate reference is the Scottish National Portrait Gallery (see - Dr John Scott Haldane, 1860 – 1936. Physiologist. Wearing a diving suit in the company of a German soldier). If you go to the web address above, they have more information on the image, but it's origin appears somewhat unknown.

I'm hoping the Scottish National Portrait Gallery won't come after me for a copyright infringement...since I'm not using it for marketing...
:-D

Cheers,
Curt
