Sir Humphrey Davy, English chemist, 1803. Artist: C Turner
Sir Humphrey Davy, English chemist, 1803. Whilst at the Pneumatic Institute in Bristol, Davy discovered the anaesthetic effects of laughing gas (nitrous oxide). In 1801, he was appointed lecturer at the Royal Institution, where he isolated the metals barium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium and strontium, but it is his invention in 1815 of the miners safety lamp (which enabled deeper, more gaseous seams to be mined without risk of explosion) for which he is perhaps best known

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned English chemist, Sir Humphrey Davy, in 1803. Captured by artist C Turner, this monochrome portrait immortalizes a man whose contributions to science and discovery have left an indelible mark on history. During his time at the Pneumatic Institute in Bristol, Davy made a groundbreaking revelation - the anaesthetic effects of laughing gas (nitrous oxide). This remarkable finding revolutionized medical practices and paved the way for modern anesthesia techniques. In addition to his work with gases, Davy's tenure as a lecturer at the Royal Institution proved instrumental in isolating several metals such as barium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, and strontium. However, it is his invention of the miners' safety lamp in 1815 that truly solidified his legacy. This ingenious creation enabled miners to safely extract resources from deeper and more gaseous seams without risking catastrophic explosions. Davy's pioneering spirit and unwavering dedication to scientific exploration make him one of history's most revered chemists. His portrait exudes an air of intellect and curiosity that defined his career. The black-and-white aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this image captured by Henry Howard Turner. As we gaze upon this print collector's treasure from Heritage Images' Oxford Science Archive collection, we are reminded of Sir Humphrey Davy's profound impact on our understanding of chemistry and his invaluable contributions to human progress.
