Daltons table of atomic symbols, 1835
Daltons table of atomic symbols, 1835. A table of atomic symbols from a lecture delivered by the English chemist John Dalton (1766-1844) at the Manchester Mechanics Institution, 19 October 1835. It includes symbols for individual elements as well as compounds. In 1803 Dalton formulated his atomic theory to explain chemical reactions, based on the concept that atoms of different elements are distinguished by differences in their weights

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Daltons table of atomic symbols, a significant milestone in the field of chemistry. Created by the renowned English chemist John Dalton in 1835, this table was presented during his lecture at the Manchester Mechanics Institution on October 19th. The table not only includes symbols for individual elements but also compounds, providing a comprehensive understanding of chemical composition. Dalton's groundbreaking atomic theory, formulated in 1803, serves as the foundation for this remarkable display. His theory suggests that atoms of different elements can be distinguished by variations in their weights. In this monochrome image captured by an unknown creator, we witness a visual representation of scientific knowledge and education. The simplicity of black and white enhances our focus on the intricate details present within each symbol. This print is a testament to Dalton's immense contribution to the world of science and his dedication to explaining chemical reactions through his revolutionary theories. As we observe this historic artifact from Ann Ronan Pictures' collection, we are reminded of how far we have come in unraveling the mysteries behind matter and its behavior. It serves as a reminder that even centuries-old discoveries continue to shape our understanding today.
