EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures James Hargreaves, a prominent figure in the 19th-century chemical industry. The image is part of a private collection and was taken by an English photographer. It serves as an illustration for "A History of the Chemical Industry in Widnes" by D. W. F Hardie, published by Imperial Chemicals Ltd in 1950. In the photograph, Hargreaves stands proudly amidst the backdrop of industrial machinery at Atlas Works. This location was known for its significant contributions to various fields such as metallurgy, chlorine production, alkali manufacturing, soap making, and saltcake extraction.

His work with gaseous chemicals and electrochemistry revolutionized processes within England's chemical sector. Notably, his achievements drew inspiration from great minds like Leonardo da Vinci. The photo also alludes to Thomas Robinson's vitriol plant at Widnes and highlights Germany's influence on British chemistry during that era.
