British physicist and chemist (1791–1867) best known for his development of the first dynamo and the discovery of electromagnetic induction; he was appointed as the Fullerian Professor of Chemistry at the Royal Institution in 1825, a lifetime position. Ticket for a lecture at the Royal Institution on March 27, 1857, 4.5 x 3, signed in black ink by Faraday, “M. Faraday.” In fine condition, with a couple insignificant tack holes to corners and a few surface marks. Though the subject for this particular lecture is unknown, Faraday was a charismatic and engaging lecturer, and he initiated the immensely popular ‘Christmas Lecture’ series, which was designed to excite the general population about science with impressive demonstrations and understandable instruction—a tradition that continues to this day.
