Professor Faraday lecturing at the Royal Institute... 1856, (1901). Creator: Unknown
Professor Faraday lecturing at the Royal Institute before the Prince Consort and the Prince of Wales, 1856, (1901). Michael Faraday (1791-1867) giving a lecture attended by Prince Albert and his son, Prince Albert Edward (future King Edward VII). Faraday was one of the greatest scientists of the 19th century. His most significant contribution was " 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 in London, both of which are still given today. From " The Illustrated London News Record of the Glorious Reign of Queen Victoria 1837-1901: The Life and Accession of King Edward VII. and the Life of Queen Alexandra". [London, 1901]

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a significant moment in history as Professor Faraday delivers a lecture at the Royal Institute in 1856. In attendance are Prince Albert and his son, Prince Albert Edward, who would later become King Edward VII. This image showcases the immense respect and admiration that Faraday commanded during his time as one of the greatest scientists of the 19th century. Faraday's groundbreaking work on electricity is highlighted in this caption. His extensive research, spanning over four decades, resulted in numerous discoveries including the laws of electromagnetic induction and electrolysis. Additionally, he was instrumental in developing principles for electric motors and dynamos. Beyond his scientific achievements, Faraday also left an enduring legacy through his establishment of two popular events at the Royal Institution: Friday evening discourses and children's Christmas lectures. These traditions continue to thrive even today. This photograph not only immortalizes an iconic figure but also serves as a testament to the importance placed on scientific knowledge during Queen Victoria's reign. It symbolizes a meeting between intellectual brilliance and royal patronage, showcasing how science transcends societal boundaries. Preserved within "The Illustrated London News Record of the Glorious Reign of Queen Victoria 1837-1901: The Life and Accession of King Edward VII. And The Life of Queen Alexandra" this image offers us a glimpse into an era where scientific progress was celebrated alongside monarchy, leaving an indelible mark on our understanding of history.
