Hannes,

I suggest that you find copies of:

Hermann, Armin (1979) The New Physics: the Route into the Atomic Age. In
Memory of Albert Einstein, Max von Laue, Otto Hahn, and Lise Meitner: Inter
Nationes Bonn-Bad Godesberg, Munich.

There are photos of the apparatus that Friedrich and Knipping used for the
first X-ray diffraction photos, the first Laue diagram, Einstein's postcard
to Laue, Max von Laue, Peter Paul Ewald, etc.
For pictures relating to Rontgen, see:

Catalog of the Rontgen Rays Centennial: Exhibition on the Occasion of the
Discovery of X-Rays in Wurzburg, on November 8, 1895: Martin von Wagner
Museum, University of Wurzburg.

This has a colored picture of Friedrich and Knippings's apparatus as well
as pictures of almost everyone associated with the beginnings of X-ray
diffraction.

I have photos of Ralph Grim and William Bradley if you're interested in
early clay mineralogists, but they're rather removed from Rietveld
analysis.
