Faraday, Michael. (1791 - 1867) [Antoine-François Jean Claudet. (1797 - 1867)]. CDV Photograph. Uncommon CDV photograph of the British physicist and chemist, issued in 1852 by Claudet from a daguerrotype original. The verso with printed text from the photographer addressed by hand to one "Mrs. Evans" ("Mr. Claudet begs to inform (ink): Mrs. Evans (printed) that old faded daguerreotypes and stereoscopic slides can be restored to their original perfection..."). A few spots, else fine. 2.5 x 4 inches; 6.3 x 10.2 cm.
Considered one of greatest experimenters of his era, Faraday was a self-trained scientist whose greatest claims to fame include the 1821 invention of the dynamo (a device capable of converting electricity to motion), the 1831 discovery of electromagnetic induction, and in 1857, the discovery of the laws of chemical electrodeposition of metals from solutions.
