Portret van Titus Salt before 1876

This is a portrait of Titus Salt, an English industrialist, born in 1803, by Appleton & Co. The photograph, taken before 1876, depicts Salt in a seated pose, wearing a dark jacket and a light waistcoat. His long white beard and contemplative expression give a sense of his age and wisdom. Salt was a prominent wool merchant, and the founder of the model industrial town of Saltaire, West Yorkshire, England. His portrait captures the likeness of a successful businessman who contributed significantly to the industrial revolution and social reform in England.
