EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait print captures the essence of James Baird, a Scottish industrialist and ironmaster who left a lasting impact on the world of industry and politics in the 19th century. Born in Old Monkland, North Lanarkshire, Scotland in 1802, Baird was known for his conservative beliefs as well as his dedication to the education of his workers.
In this engraving from 1873, Baird is depicted with a thoughtful expression, looking away from the viewer against a simple white background. His distinguished appearance - complete with a beard that speaks to his maturity and wisdom - conveys both strength and intelligence.
Despite being against unionization within his workforce, Baird's commitment to improving the lives of those he employed through education sets him apart as a forward-thinking leader. Serving as Conservative Member of Parliament for Falkirk Burghs from 1850 to 1857, he used his position to advocate for policies that would benefit both industry and society at large.
This image serves as a powerful reminder of James Baird's legacy as an influential figure in British history. His contributions to industry and politics continue to be remembered and celebrated today.
