Lord Kelvin, Scottish mathematician and physicist, with his compass, 1902. Artist: James Craig Annan
Lord Kelvin, Scottish mathematician and physicist, with his compass, 1902. Born William Thomson, Lord Kelvin (1824-1907) was educated at Glasgow and Cambridge. He was Professor of Natural Philosophy (Physics) at the University of Glasgow for 53 years. Kelvin was a pioneer of thermodynamics and electromagnetic theory and devised the temperature scale that bears his name. He also directed work on the first transatlantic cable telegraph, which gave him considerable wealth. He was probably the first scientist to become wealthy through his work. He turned to improving his compass comparitively late in life. It had a very light card giving a long period of oscillation. The compass was mounted in a binnacle fitted with magnets and spheres and was much more accurate than previous compasses. (Colorised black and white print)

EDITORS COMMENTS
Here is a possible caption for the print of Lord Kelvin:
"Lord Kelvin, Scottish mathematician and physicist William Thomson (1824-1907), poses with his compass in this photograph taken by James Craig Annan in 1902. A pioneer in thermodynamics and electromagnetic theory, Kelvin was also renowned for devising the temperature scale that bears his name. In later life, he turned to improving navigation technology, designing a highly accurate compass mounted on a binnacle fitted with magnets and spheres. This portrait captures Lord Kelvin's distinguished appearance as an elderly gentleman of science, complete with his characteristic beard and dignified demeanor.
