3 unusual facts about Statue of Ludwig Mond


Statue of Ludwig Mond

After Mond's death the directors of Brunner Mond and Company commissioned Édouard Lantéri to design a statue.

Wishing to develop a better process for the production of alkali than the Leblanc process, he joined in partnership with John Brunner, who also worked for Hutchinson, to improve the ammonia-soda process, building a factory for this purpose at Winnington.

The decision to commission Lantéri to design the statue was probably influenced by Robert Mond, Ludwig's eldest son.
