Image description

Sir Humphry Davy, English chemist, c 1820. Engraving. Whilst at the Pneumatic Institute in Bristol, Davy (1778-1829) 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, and investigated, with his assistant Michael Faraday (1791-1867), his theory of volcanic action. 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. ©SSPL/Science Museum
