Henri Etienne St Claire Deville, 19th century French chemist, (c1955)
Henri Etienne St Claire Deville, 19th century French chemist, (c1955). In 1854 Deville (1818-1881) discovered the process for obtaining pure aluminium by reducing aluminium chloride with sodium. With the financial backing of Napoleon III, he built an experimental plant for large-scale production of aluminium and was able to display the pure metal at the Paris Exposition of 1855.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the esteemed figure of Henri Etienne St Claire Deville, a prominent 19th-century French chemist. Taken around 1955, this image showcases Deville's distinguished features - his bearded face and head exuding an air of wisdom and intellect. Deville made a groundbreaking discovery in 1854 when he unveiled the process for obtaining pure aluminium by reducing aluminium chloride with sodium. Backed financially by Napoleon III, he constructed an experimental plant to facilitate large-scale production of this remarkable metal. The fruits of his labor were proudly displayed at the Paris Exposition in 1855, where spectators marveled at the purity and potential of aluminium. The obverse side of a commemorative medal celebrating 100 years since the use of aluminium adorns this print, emphasizing its significance in industrial chemistry. This portrait encapsulates not only Deville's contribution to science but also serves as a testament to France's rich history in innovation and industry. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to a time when men like Henri Etienne St Claire Deville dedicated their lives to pushing boundaries and advancing our understanding of chemistry. His legacy lives on through his pioneering work with aluminium - forever etched into history as one who shaped our modern world through scientific exploration and ingenuity.
