Postcard featuring a sepia-toned photograph of a man, possibly Theodor Curtius (1857-1928), sitting outside.

Throughout his career, Curtius was a professor of chemistry at the University of Heidelberg, the director of the analytical chemistry department at the University of Erlangen, and a chair of chemistry at the University of Kiel. He published the Curtius rearrangement in 1890 and also discovered diazoacetic acid, hydrazine, and hydrazoic acid.
