James Watt, Scottish engineer, 19th century. Artist: Robert G Bell
James Watt, Scottish engineer. James Watt (1736-1819) was the son of a Scottish shipbuilder and showed an interest in invention at an early age, making models in his fathers workshop when still a child. His contribution to manufacturing and the industrial revolution came in his perfection of the working of steam engines, inventing new parts to stop the waste of steam and fuel. Watt took out a patent on his new method and entered into a long partnership with Matthew Boulton, the entrepreneur owner of the Soho Works, in 1775. The pair applied the technology to furnaces for making cast iron and for pumping mines, producing a perfected double action version of the engine in the 1780s, with a piston that both pushed and pulled

The portrait, created by Robert G Bell, showcases Watt's determined profile as he gazes into the distance with an air of confidence and intelligence. Born in 1736 to a shipbuilder father, Watt displayed his passion for invention from an early age. His fascination with steam engines led him to perfect their workings by inventing new components that minimized waste of both steam and fuel. In 1775, he formed a long-lasting partnership with entrepreneur Matthew Boulton, applying their innovative technology to various industries such as cast iron manufacturing and mine pumping. Watt's groundbreaking double-action engine design emerged in the 1780s, featuring a piston capable of both pushing and pulling. This revolutionary advancement propelled Britain into an era of unprecedented power and engineering prowess. As we admire this remarkable engraving capturing Watt's likeness, we are reminded of his immense contribution to science and industry during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. His inventive spirit forever changed the landscape of manufacturing while igniting progress throughout Scotland and beyond.
