George Field (1777?–1854), was an English chemist. He was born in or about 1777 at Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, of a family long settled in that town, and was educated at St. Peter's school there. When about eighteen years of age he came to London to seek a profession. He thought he saw an opening in the careful application of chemistry to pigments and dyes. War on the continent, by stopping the supply of madder from Holland, threatened to impede his progress. This obstacle, however, led him to consider the nature of its cultivation, and with a well-devised project he waited on Sir Joseph Banks for his advice, and, as he hoped, his co-operation. Sir Joseph, after unsuccessfully attempting to cultivate madder in Essex, had made up his mind that it could not be done in England.

  • George Field (1777-1854) estis angla kemiisto, kiu sin dediĉis al la zorga aplikado de la kemio al la pigmentoj kaj tinkturoj. Kiam li estis dekokjara, li iris al Londono serĉe de laboro. Li havis iom da espero en la disvolviĝo de inkoj kaj pigmentoj. Pro la milito, la provizado de Rubia tinctorium el Nederlando fariĝis neebla, minacante liajn klopodojn. Do, li decidis kultivi la planton en la lando, kaj havanto de bona projekto, li atendis la konsilon kaj kunlaboradon de Joseph Banks. Post malsukcesa provo, ambaŭ decidis ke la kultivado de tiu planto neeblis en Anglio. Do li decidis kultivi la planton en sia ĝardeno mem, el kie li ekstraktis la materialon por siaj inkoj. Li elpensis la perkolilon, aparato uzata por redukti la densecon de la tinkturoj. (eo)
