Sir William Crookes, English chemist and physicist, (20th century)
Sir William Crookes, English chemist and physicist, (20th century). After studying at the Royal College of Chemistry, London, Crookes (1832-1919) went on to make significant contributions in several fields of science. He invented the radiometer (1873-1876), a device that responds to light or other electromagnetic radiation (which led to research in vacuum physics), and the spinthariscope (1903) which made individual alpha particles visible. He also discovered the element thallium, and was an authority on sanitation and agriculture

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished figure of Sir William Crookes, an eminent English chemist and physicist from the 20th century. Having received his education at the prestigious Royal College of Chemistry in London, Crookes (1832-1919) made remarkable contributions across various scientific disciplines. His inventive mind led to the creation of groundbreaking devices such as the radiometer (1873-1876), which responded to light and paved the way for significant advancements in vacuum physics. Another notable invention was his spinthariscope (1903), enabling individual alpha particles to become visible. Beyond his inventions, Crookes also discovered the element thallium and established himself as an authority on sanitation and agriculture. This portrait engraving captures him with a dignified presence, sporting a beard that adds gravitas to his scholarly appearance. Behind those spectacles lies a keen intellect that revolutionized fields like chemistry and physics. The monochrome aesthetic further enhances this image's timeless quality, transporting us back to a bygone era where great minds like Sir William Crookes shaped our understanding of science. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of his profound impact on society through innovation and expertise.
