These are all rather interesting guys but seriously, you are missing a group photo with all of them. I suppose the legend should read "Wöhler group photograph; from left to right: Wöhler, Wöhler, Wöhler, Wöhler and Wöhler. Jointly credited with first synthesis of urea"
Pretty impressive collection, I'd say. Of course, all of us organikkers trace back to Wohler. Glad to see someone has an appreciation for chemical geneology.

How long did it take to find all those pictures?
About 15 minutes with two people. Not at work obviously... and nothing else to do :-)
superb... simple superb...
that's a LOT of wohler (how does one type the umlaut?)...and who are the other people in that photo? famous people?
From left to right: Heinrich Buff, Friedrich Wöhler, Hermann Kopp, Justus von Liebig (all chemists).
