Michael Faraday, British chemist and physicist, c1845. Artist: J Cook
Michael Faraday, British chemist and physicist, c1845. 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. (Colorised black and white print)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed Michael Faraday, a renowned British chemist and physicist from the mid-19th century. The artist, J Cook, skillfully captures Faraday's intellectual prowess and dedication to scientific exploration in this colorised black and white portrait. Faraday's contributions to science were truly groundbreaking. His magnum opus, "Experimental Researches on Electricity" spanned over four decades and unveiled his remarkable discoveries. Among these were the laws of electromagnetic induction (1831) and electrolysis (1833), which revolutionized our understanding of electricity. Additionally, he pioneered the principles behind electric motors and dynamos. In this image, we see Faraday surrounded by laboratory equipment—a testament to his tireless commitment to experimentation. His piercing gaze reflects his deep concentration as he delves into the mysteries of physics and chemistry. Faraday's impact extended far beyond his laboratory walls; he became one of the most influential scientists of his time. This print serves as a tribute to his immense legacy in both Britain and worldwide scientific communities. Henry Anelay expertly colorised this historical photograph, breathing new life into it while preserving its authenticity. Through this collaboration between Anelay, J Cook, and Heritage Images' Print Collector29 collection, we are transported back in time to witness an iconic figure at work—Michael Faraday—the epitome of brilliance in 19th-century science.
