EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Sir Henry Bessemer, a renowned inventor and engineer, in 1881. With his distinguished bald head and impressive sideburns, he exudes an air of intelligence and innovation. Sir Henry Bessemer (1813-1898) was a prolific inventor whose most significant contribution to the world was the discovery of the Bessemer Process for manufacturing steel. This groundbreaking technique revolutionized the iron and steel industry by enabling cheap production of steel in large quantities for the first time. His invention propelled advancements in engineering, technology, and trade during the 19th century. The portrait showcases Sir Henry's prominent role as one of Britain's foremost inventors during this era.
