This vignette featuring Ada Lovelace is part of "Women of Computing," a project on the LEGO Ideas contest celebrating six pioneering women in technology. If this project receives 10,000 votes, you could soon buy one at a LEGO store near you!
Lovelace is best known for her work with inventor and mathematician Charles Babbage and his Analytical Engine, a proposed 19th century calculating machine. Lovelace was ahead of her time in predicting how the engine could be used, envisioning applications that went well beyond simple calculations. She understood that the engine represented what historian Doron Swade called "the first artificial intelligence machine." Lovelace published what many consider the first computer program as a sequence of operations; for this, she is often called the first programmer. While the full Analytical Engine was never built, this vignette represents a partial model that can be seen at the Science Museum in London. Joining Lovelace is her cat, Mrs. Puff.
The full Women of NASA set includes five additional minifigures — of Grace Hopper, Betty Holberton, Jean Jennings Bartik, Gladys West, and Annie Easley — plus vignettes related to their own accomplishments.

Women have made vital contributions to the field of computing. Many women served as programmers at the dawn of the computing age, and a number of key pioneers developed highly influential innovations to support the emergence of computing as a dominant technology. Yet such trailblazers are often unknown or under-appreciated. This proposed LEGO Ideas set celebrates six notable women in computing and provides an educational building experience to support LEGO fans of all ages in learning about the history of women in technology. The six Women of Computing are:
Ada Lovelace (1815-1852) with a partial model of the Analytical Engine
Grace Hopper (1906-1992) with a partial model of the UNIVAC and a model of her desk
Betty Holberton (1917-2001) with a partial model of the ENIAC
Jean Jennings Bartik (1924-2011) with a partial model of the ENIAC
Gladys West (1930-) with a model of the Global Positioning System (GPS)

Oil on canvas.
English painter. Encouraged by Jacob Pleydell-Bouverie, 2nd Earl of Radnor, she established herself in London at the age of 20 after winning a Salisbury Society of Arts gold medal for a study of a boy's head. Regarded as 'the best woman portrait painter of her time' (Whitley, p. 162), she did portraits of many notable men, including Patrick Fraser Tytler (1845) and Archbishop Sumner (1852; both London, N.P.G.). Carpenter's work was admired for its artistic qualities, independent of the subject's identity. When she exhibited Head of a Polish Jew (untraced) at the British Institution in 1823, a reviewer wrote: 'It very rarely happens that a specimen of art like this is produced from the hand of a lady: here are colour, strength and effect, and anatomical drawing.' Carpenter exhibited at the Royal Academy between 1818 and 1866, as well as at the British Institution and the Society of Artists. Her output is estimated at 1000 paintings.

Ada Lovelace was born Ada Byron in 1815. Though she never met him, Ada was the daughter of the poet Lord Byron.
In 1833 (when she was only 17), Ada met Charles Babbage, the inventor of the Difference Engine. They became lifelong friends, and later, scientific collaborators.
In 1835, Ada married William King, who subsequently inherited a noble title, whereupon Ada became "Ada Byron, Countess of Lovelace."
Babbage enlisted the Countess's help in translating the memoir of an Italian mathematician, and in the process Ada produced copious notes of Babbage's Difference Engine. It is for these documents, simply titled "Notes," that she remains famous today (although probably less so than she deserves). Although she is credited as the "founder of scientific computing," I would also argue that Ada was the first technical writer. ;-)
Ada Lovelace died of cancer in 1852.
Happy #MorseCodeDay! Today is dedicated to inventor and painter Samuel Morse, born on this day in 1791.

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 poet 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 blue, indigo and dark silver water-based block printing ink on cream coloured Japanese kozo paper 12.5 inches x 10.5 inches (31.8 cm x 26.7 cm). There are 4 prints in this second edition. The first edition was printed on plum coloured paper.
Ada Lovelace imagines an algorithm while working on the mechanical Difference Engine with Charles Babbage in the mid-1800s, likening code to patterns woven in brocade fabric

Countess Ada Lovelace was the daughter of the great poet Lord Byron. She inherited his wild imagination and developed a profound love of math and science.
At a time when women were discouraged from academia,
she forged her own path and worked alongside Charles Babbage on the precursor to the computer - the steam-powered Difference Engine - in the 1840's. In this capacity she invented the first algorithms for modern computer programming.
“I may remark that the curious transformations many formulae can undergo...
I am often reminded of certain sprites and fairies one reads of,
who are at one's elbows in one shape now,
and the next minute in a form most dissimilar.”
Her story is a wonderful reminder that genius comes in many forms.
This piece is made from antique number tables, engineering texts,
analog computer punch tape, watch mechanisms. Details in oil.

Il a été publié dans des pays aussi éloignés que le Japon, la Suède, la Pologne, l'Italie et la Grande-Bretagne, mais surtout son travail provient des personnes de langue allemande et des États-Unis. Les nombreux clients et prix internationaux de Thomas peuvent être consultés sur son site Web. Pour le moment, il ne travaille pas sur une série ou un certain projet, mais Thomas crée des pièces personnelles chaque fois qu'il trouve le temps en dehors de ses travaux d'illustration. Il développe la plupart de ses idées en combinant des images qu'il trébuche lorsqu'il recherche des photos de référence pour ses missions.
This is a part of a piece I did about Ada Lovelace, the inventor of the first computer language.
This picture is the third in a series about women who achieved greatness despite the times in which they lived.

Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace (née Byron; 1815–1852) was an English mathematician and writer, chiefly known for her work on Charles Babbage's proposed mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine. She was the first to recognise that the machine had applications beyond pure calculation, and to have published the first algorithm intended to be carried out by such a machine. As a result, she is often regarded as the first software engineer
Ada Byron was the only child of poet Lord Byron and Lady Byron.All of Byron's other children were born out of wedlock to other women. Byron separated from his wife a month after Ada was born and left England forever four months later. He commemorated the parting in a poem that begins, "Is thy face like thy mother's my fair child! ADA! sole daughter of my house and heart?". He died in Greece when Ada was eight years old. Her mother remained bitter and promoted Ada's interest in mathematics and logic in an effort to prevent her from developing her father's perceived insanity. Despite this, Ada remained interested in him, naming her two sons Byron and Gordon. Upon her eventual death, she was buried next to him at her request. Although often ill in her childhood, Ada pursued her studies assiduously. She married William King in 1835. King was made Earl of Lovelace in 1838, Ada thereby becoming Countess of Lovelace.
Her educational and social exploits brought her into contact with scientists such as Andrew Crosse, Charles Babbage, Sir David Brewster, Charles Wheatstone, Michael Faraday and the author Charles Dickens, contacts which she used to further her education. Ada described her approach as "poetical science" and herself as an "Analyst (& Metaphysician)"
