EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the distinguished figure of Sir Holbrook Gaskell, a prominent English chemist and industrialist. The image showcases his authoritative presence as he stands amidst an impressive backdrop of industrial machinery. Sir Holbrook Gaskell was a key figure in the chemical industry during the 20th century, serving as the Technical Director for Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI). His expertise and leadership played a crucial role in modernizing Britain's chemical sector. The photo is believed to have been taken in 1942 at one of ICI's factories located in Widnes, England. It portrays Sir Holbrook Gaskell alongside other members of the board of directors, symbolizing their collective efforts towards advancing British industry. Gaskell's contributions extended beyond ICI; he also held positions within United Alkali Company and served as Chief Engineer at West Bank Power Station. Knighted for his exceptional achievements, Sir Holbrook Gaskell became an influential figure not only within Britain but also across Europe. This print holds historical significance as it was featured as an illustration in "A History of the Chemical Industry in Widnes" by D. W. F Hardie, published by Imperial Chemicals Ltd in 1950. The photograph serves as a testament to Sir Holbrook Gaskell's lasting impact on chemistry and industrial development both within Great Britain and abroad.
