Original – Edmund Beecher Wilson, during his time at Bryn Mawr College

Reason: While finishing up things with Nettie Stevens, I checked Wilson - who independently discovered the Y chromosome - albeit without as much insight as Stevens had - at around the same time. This was the lead image. So, yeah, I took it upon myself to research and restore a better image. This kind of dramatic lighting was a bit of a photographic trend a decade or so either side of 1900; This is one of the better examples, with superb facial detail.
