EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "John Hutchinson (litho)" takes us back to the 19th century in England, showcasing a significant figure in the chemical industry. The image is part of a private collection and was originally created as an illustration for a book called "A History of the Chemical Industry in Widnes" by D. W. F Hardie. The photograph captures John Hutchinson amidst an industrial landscape, surrounded by factories, railways, and docks. It offers a glimpse into the bustling world of chemistry and its impact on Britain's economy during that era. The Sankey Navigation system can be seen in the background, symbolizing the transportation network crucial for trade and commerce. Widnes, where this scene unfolds, played a vital role in chemical production at that time. Notably, it was home to Leblanc soda works established in 1847 by ICI (Imperial Chemicals Ltd). This development marked an important milestone not only for Widnes but also for Europe's chemical industry. The image showcases both English and German influences within this field as Germany was known for its advancements in chemistry during this period. The presence of German engineers or consultants might have contributed to these cross-cultural exchanges. Overall, this print provides us with valuable insights into the growth of industries like chemistry and their impact on local communities such as Widnes. It serves as a reminder of how historical developments continue to shape our present-day understanding of science and technology.
