Michael Faraday lecturing at the Royal Institution, London, 1835 (20th century)
Michael Faraday lecturing at the Royal Institution, London, 1835 (20th century). 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. Faraday founded the famous Friday evening discourse and childrens Christmas lectures at the Royal Institution, both of which are still given today

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic moment of Michael Faraday lecturing at the Royal Institution in London, 1835. Known as one of the greatest scientists of the 19th century, Faraday's contributions to science were groundbreaking. His Experimental Researches on Electricity, a publication spanning over four decades, revealed his remarkable discoveries including the laws of electromagnetic induction (1831) and electrolysis (1833). Moreover, he revolutionized our understanding of electricity by uncovering principles behind electric motors and dynamos. Faraday's influence extended beyond his scientific achievements; he also established two enduring traditions at the Royal Institution. The renowned Friday evening discourse series continues to engage audiences today with thought-provoking lectures on various scientific topics. Additionally, his beloved children's Christmas lectures have become an annual event that sparks curiosity among young minds. In this engraving portrait, we see Faraday passionately sharing his knowledge with an eager audience in a lecture theatre. As a chemist and physicist himself, he captivated both experts and novices alike with his eloquence and expertise. This image not only immortalizes Faraday but also symbolizes how science can transcend time and inspire generations to come. The print serves as a reminder of Britain's rich scientific heritage while highlighting Faraday's significant role within it. It is a testament to human curiosity and determination that drives us forward in unraveling nature's mysteries for the betterment of society.
