Charles Best standing outdoors in front of a two-storey brick house. He is leaning against the front of a car, smiling, and wearing a light-colored jacket over a shirt and tie. The house behind him has shuttered windows and a central doorway, with a chimney visible on the left side of the roof. Trees and grass surround the building. The photograph is in black and white and framed from about mid-torso upward.

Eventually, the Nobel Prize Committee apologized for omitting him, and stated it was a mistake.
This is his story.
