Michael Faraday, British physicist and chemist, 1931
Michael Faraday, British physicist and chemist, 1931. Faraday (1791-1867) was one of the greatest scientists of the 19th century. His most significant contribution was the Experimental Researches on Electricity which was published over 40 years, where he described his discoveries, including the laws of electromagnetic induction (1831) and the laws of electrolysis (1833). He also discovered the principles of the electric motor and dynamo. From Nature, (August, 29, 1931)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Michael Faraday, a remarkable British physicist and chemist. Taken in 1931, it provides a glimpse into the life of one of the greatest scientists of the 19th century. Faraday's contributions to science were immense, with his most significant work being the Experimental Researches on Electricity. Over a span of 40 years, he meticulously documented his groundbreaking discoveries in this publication. Among these were his revolutionary laws of electromagnetic induction (1831) and electrolysis (1833), which laid the foundation for modern electrical engineering. The portrait showcases Faraday's intellectual prowess and pioneering spirit. His deep understanding of magnetism led him to unravel the principles behind electric motors and dynamos - inventions that have shaped our world today. In this monochrome engraving, we see Faraday as a distinguished gentleman immersed in his scientific pursuits. The intensity in his eyes reflects both curiosity and determination as he delves into uncharted territories. Michael Faraday's legacy continues to inspire generations of scientists worldwide. His relentless pursuit of knowledge has left an indelible mark on our understanding of electricity and magnetism. This print serves as a testament to his brilliance, reminding us that true innovation knows no boundaries or limitations.
