Dr. Mária Telkes, dubbed the “Sun Queen” of America, embarked on her career as a chemist in Hungary before relocating to the United States. Her commitment to solar energy research was unwavering, and even at the age of 63 in 1964, Telkes was actively engaged in her field. That year, an invitation extended to her to present her work marked another milestone in her enduring dedication. The visual portrays an illustration of Dr. Mária Telkes against a blue background. It presents a stylized portrait featuring her curly hair and a discernable likeness. To the lower right, there’s text that reads “TRAILBLAZERS: DR. MÁRIA TELKES” with the logo for “American Experience” situated below it, indicating the context of the image likely pertains to a historical or documentary format.
