Augusta Ada Byron King, Countess of Lovelace (10 December 1815 London, England β 27 November 1852 Marylebone, London, England), born Augusta Ada Byron, was the only legitimate child of Lord Byron. She is widely known in modern times simply as Ada Lovelace.
She is mainly known for having written a description of Charles Babbage's early mechanical general-purpose computer, the analytical engine. She is today appreciated as the "first programmer" since she was writing programsβthat is, manipulating symbols according to rulesβfor a machine that Babbage had not yet built. She also foresaw the capability of computers to go beyond mere calculating or number-crunching while others, including Babbage himself, focused only on these capabilities. - Wikipedia

Augusta Ada Byron, Countess of Lovelace. (1815-1852) was decades ahead of her time. Women were rare in science, technology, engineering and mathematics the 19th century, but from a young age, science and technology were Ada's passions.
Daughter of the infamous romantic poet, Lord Byron, and the daughter of devout mathematician, Baroness Wentworth, Lovelace as herself a woman of logic. A student of Augustus De Morgan, she worked extensively with the inventor and philosopher Charles Babbage (1791-1871) and was fascinated by his designs for a theoretical general-purpose computer, which he called the Analytical Engine.
In 1843, while writing about the Analytical Engine, Lovelace developed the first known example of a computer language. Creating a notation for algorithms and their execution, she used her language to design example programs to run on the machine. Today, Ada Lovelace is widely recognised as the world's first computer programmer. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace

"Whilst itβs important to commemorate great achievements, embedding a culture of brilliance within a field can also leave some students feeling a disconnect between their own abilities and the skills they believe are required to succeed."

This is a lino block print of Countess, Lady Ada Lovelace (1815-1852), who published the first computer program.* She worked together with Charles Babbage, the inventor of the Difference Engine and the Analytical Engine (the first - analogue! - computers), correcting his notes on how to calculate Bernoulli Numbers with the Analytical Engine. More importantly, she (a great communicator, daughter of mad, bad and dangerous to know Lord Byron) was able to understand and explain the workings of the analytical engine and the potential of computing machines. Her comments seem visionary to the modern reader. Babbage called her the Enchantress of Numbers and the Princess of Parallelograms.
The print is in gold, purple and turquoise water-based block printing ink on mauve Japanese gampi paper 15.25 inches x 10.5 inches.
(carving three equations is a new level of insanity for me)
