Joseph Priestley, caricature C015 / 6707
Joseph Priestley (1733-1804). Caricature of the British chemist and clergyman Joseph Priestley. Priestly is best known as the discoverer of oxygen. He carried out research into the composition and nature of air, and was the first to suggest a connection between blood and air, although he did so using phlogiston theory. He was also the first person to recognise that respiration in animals produces carbon dioxide, whereas in plants it produces oxygen. His work on carbon dioxide led to soda water and other carbonated drinks

EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white caricature print depicts the renowned British chemist and clergyman, Joseph Priestley. Known for his groundbreaking discovery of oxygen, Priestley's contributions to science are immortalized in this comical illustration. With a white background highlighting his portrait, this historic artwork captures the essence of the 18th and 19th centuries. Priestley's significant research on air composition led him to propose a connection between blood and air using phlogiston theory. He was also the first to recognize that respiration in animals produces carbon dioxide while plants produce oxygen. His work on carbon dioxide even paved the way for popular carbonated drinks like soda water. In this sketch, we see an adult Caucasian man with a comical expression, emphasizing both his scientific expertise as well as his witty personality. The artist has skillfully captured Priestley's likeness, showcasing his role as a chemist and scientist alongside his position as a clergyman. As one delves into history of science, Joseph Priestley stands out as an influential figure whose discoveries continue to impact our lives today. This monochrome artwork serves not only as a visual representation of Priestly but also pays homage to his immense contributions in physical chemistry.
