Image description

Edmund (Edmond) Cartwright, British textiles pioneer c 1800. Oil painting, either by Robert Fulton, or a commissioned copy after Fulton. Edmund Cartwright (1743-1823) visited Richard Arkwright's cotton mills in 1784, just before Arkwright's patent was due to expire on the mills. A mechanical means of weaving cotton was needed as the new mills would produce far too much cotton to weave manually. In 1785-1787 Cartwright patented a water-powered loom (later steam-powered) to run the mechanisms. The new machine wove much faster than a skilled manual weaver. Cartwright's inventions drove new developments in power weaving, while forcing many skilled workers out of their jobs. He also patented a wool-combing machine and an alcohol engine, and was agricultural experimenter to the Dukes of Bedford. Dimensions: 960 mm x 850 mm x 75mm. ©SSPL/Science Museum
