I did a bit of work trying to find out who he was but was unsuccessful. I just tried the Bing visual search and William Ramsay was the first suggestion. Thanks to the person with that advice.

Bill, he is Sir William Ramsay, a Scottish Chemist. I used Topaz software to clean up his picture, then I used Google reverse image lookup to find him. Topaz uses AI. I did this work for you before I read the comments. Kudos for the other comments before me. And may everyone have a beautiful Soldersmoke day! N8WQ.
