John Quincy Adams in 1843. The sixth president of the United States. Son of the second president. Born in 1767. Old enough to remember the Revolutionary War. Knew George Washington. And yet there he is, posing for a damn photograph.

Ok, done. Would be nice if the other posters do the same.

What is the measure of bar? I mean, exclusively politicians or badass crims or what?

I've always loved these photos by Robert Capa, who was amongst illustrious friends. Excuse the trademarks but deal with it.

Gene Kelly rehearsing.

Ernest Hemingway being a bear of a man.

My favourite Pablo Picasso photograph by Capa isn't available on the Magnum site, so that will have to do.

Bismarck?

If so, badass.

Well, I dunno. I would like to avoid SPAM of modern promotional pictures of actors, singers, models and the like.

Teddy Roosevelt was honestly a bad ass. Love or hate his politics, the man was a man amongst boys.

Job well done I'd say.

Here's a better description.

In 1911, Ernest Solvay, the Belgian chemist and industrialist founded Conseil Solvay, the world’s first physics conference. Initially aimed at solving problems in physics and chemistry, the conferences are held every three years.

The above group photo was taken at the end of the October 1927 Fifth Solvay International Conference. The tensions were high: Einstein sparred with Heisenberg over the latter’s Uncertainty Principle. The attendees disagreed on the Copenhagen interpretation of atom, was promoted by a faction led by Niels Bohr, and opposed by more conservative faction lead by Albert Einstein. By the end of the conference, Bohr’s faction had prevailed.

First Row (l to r): Irving Langmuir, Max Planck, Marie Curie, Hendrik Lorentz, Albert Einstein, Pierre Langevin, Charles Eugene Guye, C. T. R. Wilson, Owen W. Richardson

Second Row (l to r): Peter Debye, Martin Knudson, W. Lawrence Bragg, Hans Kramer, Paul Dirac, Arthur Compton, Louis de Broglie, Max Born, Niels Bohr

Third Row (l to r): Auguste Piccard, Émile Henriot, Paul Ehrenfest, Edouard Herzen,Théophile de Donder, Erwin Schrodinger, Jules-Emile Vershaffelt, Wolfgang Pauli, Werner Heisenberg, Ralph Howard Fowler, Leon Brillouin.

Seventeen of the twenty-nine attendees were or became Nobel Prize winners.
