The image captures the inventor, engineer, and baron in his later years, seated at a table adorned with an assortment of books and papers. The setting suggests a quiet moment of reflection, as Sir William ponders the latest discoveries and innovations that would continue to shape his remarkable career.

He is best known for his work in engineering and arms manufacturing, which included the development of hydraulic cranes, armored vessels, and the Elswick Ordnance Works. His inventions revolutionized industries and military technology, earning him numerous accolades and the title of Baronet in 1869.

His passion for learning is evident in this photograph, as he leans forward, his elbow resting on the table, a quill pen in hand, and his gaze fixed on the pages before him.
