EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable James Watt, a Scottish inventor, mechanical engineer, and chemist. Taken in 1830 by an unknown creator, this portrait captures Watt's direct gaze as he stands confidently dressed in his coat and cravat. Watt's contributions to the Industrial Revolution were nothing short of revolutionary. He played a pivotal role in improving the Newcomen steam engine and formed a partnership with Matthew Boulton that would change the course of history. Together, they brought about significant advancements in engineering and propelled Britain into a new era of industrialization. Educated at home, Watt's brilliance shone through as he made groundbreaking discoveries in both chemistry and mechanical engineering. His ingenuity not only transformed industries but also left an indelible mark on society as a whole. The engraving featured here is from "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, published by Thomas Tegg, R. Griffin & Co. , J. Cumming in London, Glasgow, and Dublin in 1830. It captures the essence of Watt's character - a man who defied conventionality to become one of history's greatest inventors.
