We met Hanna, the university friend of science students Ruth and Richard in the first series. Back then I said I wasn't sure what subject she was studying, but here she is clearly enjoying some rather elaborate chemical experiment:
and then getting on with the work:
Photos taken by Richard Groß at the University of Bonn, between 1929 and 1933.
I do love these photos but I am troubled by the fact that people didn't seem to be using any eye protection at the time (eg Richard here).
Should anybody have any answers to some of the many questions I am raising in this series, please leave a comment here (I'll need to vet it, so it may take a few days before it goes public) or contact me at michaelgrr [at] yahoo [dot] co [dot] uk

I started a twitter thread for season 2 here. However, as the bird site seems to be turning into an evil empire, I have now switched to logging the entries in a similar thread on Mastodon.
The twitter thread for season 1 is still here. It only loads 30 tweets at first, so you have to click "show more" a couple of times to get all 40 entries. Alternatively, visit the last instalment and find the numbered list of entries at the bottom.
I'm also adding all photos from this series to my family history album on flickr.
