Old picture of a snowy scene with a man in a dark trench coat and flat cat standing next to a triangular metal scaffolding about twice as tall as he is. Inside the scaffolding is what looks like a metal fireworks rocket. The picture is of Robert Goddard standing next to one of the first liquid fueled rockets, that he invented. The picture dates to 1926.

@wonderofscience To be fair, the top image should be Robert Goddard with his similarly early liquid rocket, which would have dated to 1926. So, 53 years from the earliest liquid fueled rockets.
