Titus Salt, English textile manufacturer
Sir Titus Salt (1803-1876), English textile manufacturer and social reformer. Salt took over the running of his fathers textile mill in Bradford in 1833 and over the next 20 years became the towns largest employer. He became Mayor in 1848 and, appalled at the effect of pollution on living standards in Bradford, tried to bring in legislation to limit air pollution. When all action was opposed, Salt left Bradford to set up an industrial community, Saltaire, on the banks of the River Aire. Noise and air pollution was minimised and all homes had running water and gas. Saltaire also had its own school, hospital, park and library. Illustration taken from The Imperial Dictionary of Universal Biography (1857-1863)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Sir Titus Salt, an influential figure in English history. Born in 1803, Salt inherited his father's textile mill in Bradford and transformed it into the largest employer in town over the next two decades. Not content with just business success, he delved into politics and became Mayor of Bradford in 1848. However, what truly sets Sir Titus Salt apart is his dedication to social reform. Appalled by the detrimental impact of pollution on living standards, he tirelessly fought for legislation to limit air pollution. Unfortunately, facing opposition at every turn, Salt made a bold decision - he left Bradford behind and established Saltaire. Saltaire was not just another industrial community; it was a visionary masterpiece along the banks of River Aire. Here, noise and air pollution were minimized while modern amenities like running water and gas were provided to all homes. The community also boasted its own school, hospital, park, and library. The illustration itself captures Sir Titus Salt's dignified presence as a white-haired gentleman dressed impeccably in 19th-century attire. It serves as a reminder of his significant contributions as both a successful textile manufacturer and an advocate for societal improvement. Sir Titus Salt's legacy lives on through this remarkable artwork that encapsulates his entrepreneurial spirit alongside his unwavering commitment to creating better living conditions for all.
