EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the brilliant Scottish chemist and physicist, James Dewar, in his laboratory around 1890. Standing confidently amidst a backdrop of scientific equipment, Dewar holds one of his most famous inventions - the vacuum flask. James Dewar (1842-1923) is best known for his groundbreaking work on liquefying gases, which revolutionized the field of chemistry. However, he was also involved in another significant discovery - Cordite, an explosive compound used extensively during World War I. Dewar's dedication to scientific exploration is evident in this portrait as he exudes an air of intellect and determination. His contribution to the advancement of science during the Victorian era cannot be overstated. Born in Scotland but revered worldwide for his achievements, Dewar's legacy continues to inspire scientists today. This photograph serves as a testament to his remarkable career and enduring impact on the fields of physics and chemistry. Preserved through time by Edward Thorpe's "History of Chemistry" published in London in 1910, this image offers us a glimpse into both Dewar's laboratory and the spirit of scientific inquiry that defined nineteenth-century Britain. As we observe this snapshot from over a century ago, we are reminded not only of James Dewar's brilliance but also how far humanity has come thanks to pioneers like him who pushed boundaries and expanded our understanding of the world around us.
