Thomas Midgley, Jr. (May 18, 1889 – November 2, 1944), he was an all American mechanical engineer turned chemist. He developed both the tetra-ethyl lead (TEL) additive to gasoline and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). While lauded at the time for his discoveries, today his legacy is seen as far more mixed considering the serious negative environmental impacts of his innovations. One historian remarked that Midgley "had more impact on the atmosphere than any other single organism in Earths history." In celebreation of Midgley's extraordinary misfortune I have printed a limited edition run of 50 four layered prints which are slim A2 in scale. Please do contact me if you would like to puchase one they are £30 including p&p.
