Sir John Herschel, astronomer and scientist, 1810s. Portrait of John Herschel as a young man. The son of astronomer Sir William Herschel, John Herschel discovered 525 nebulae and clusters. He pioneered celestial photography, introducing 'hypo' (thiosulphate) as a photographic fixative. He discovered the cyanotype or blueprint process in 1842, and carried out research on photo-active chemicals and the wave theory of light. (Colorised black and white print).
