Description
Interior view of the Chemical Department, Imperial College of Science and Technology, South Kensington, London. Showing chemical laboratory work benches, with the equipment and lighting, looking towards five windows stepped in height from the centre.
From the papers of Thomas Thorpe. One of a set of seven photographs [MS/373/4/10-16] contained in an original envelope, showing various views of the department.
Sir Thomas Edward Thorpe (1845–1925), British chemist, held the chair of chemistry at the Normal School of Science, South Kensington (later the Royal College of Science), between 1885 and 1894. He was reappointed professor of general chemistry at the same institution between 1909 and 1912, by which time it had become known as the Imperial College of Science and Technology. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1863.
