Michael Faraday, English chemist and physicist, 19th century
Michael Faraday, English chemist and physicist, 19th century. Faraday (1791-1867) was one of the greatest scientists of the 19th century. His most significant contribution was the Experimental Researches on Electricity which was published over 40 years, where he described his discoveries, including the laws of electromagnetic induction (1831) and the laws of electrolysis (1833). He also discovered the principles of the electric motor and dynamo. Engraving after the portrait by Henry William Pickersgill (1782-1875)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed Michael Faraday, an English chemist and physicist who made remarkable contributions to science during the 19th century. Widely regarded as one of the greatest scientists of his time, Faraday's groundbreaking work on electricity revolutionized our understanding of this fundamental force. His most notable achievement was his publication titled "Experimental Researches on Electricity" a comprehensive collection that spanned over four decades. In this seminal work, Faraday meticulously documented his numerous discoveries, including the laws of electromagnetic induction in 1831 and the laws of electrolysis in 1833. Additionally, he unveiled revolutionary principles behind electric motors and dynamos. The monochrome engraving featured here is based on a portrait by Henry William Pickersgill, a renowned artist from that era. It beautifully captures Faraday's intellectual prowess and determination as he delved into scientific exploration. Faraday's legacy continues to inspire generations of scientists worldwide. His pioneering research laid the foundation for modern physics and chemistry, cementing him as one of Britain's most celebrated figures in scientific history. This exquisite print serves as a timeless tribute to Michael Faraday's immense contributions to humanity's understanding of electricity and his enduring impact on scientific progress throughout the centuries.
