Michael Faraday. Caricature of Michael Faraday (1791-1867),British chemist,giving his business card to Father Thames,a figure representing the River Thames in London,Britain. Father Thames is covered in sewage and surrounded by dead,floating animal carcasses. Faraday had written to a newspaper,The Times,complaining that the water in the River Thames was so polluted that pieces of white card could not be seen 3 cm (1 inch) below the water's surface. The cause was the untreated sewage which was discharged into the river. Sewers were built to deal with the sewage during 1859-75 by Joseph Bazalgette. Cartoon taken from an 1855 edition of Punch,a British satirical magazine | |
