EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Mary Somerville, a trailblazing mathematician of the 19th century. The illustration, originally published in "The Family Friend" by S. W. Partridge & Co. in London (1875), beautifully captures her intellect and influence. Mary Fairfax Greig Somerville was not only a mathematician but also a scientist and astronomer, leaving an indelible mark on academia. Her contributions were so significant that Oxford's prestigious Somerville College bears her name to this day. In this monochrome line art, we see Mary depicted with elegance and poise, donning a traditional cap of the era. The engraved image exudes an antique charm that transports us back to a time when women faced immense challenges in pursuing scientific endeavors. Through this historical snapshot, we glimpse into British culture during the 19th century—a period where societal norms often hindered women from fully participating in science. However, Mary Somerville defied these constraints and became renowned for her expertise in algebra and mathematics. This drawing serves as both a tribute to Mary's accomplishments and a testament to the progress made since then. It reminds us of how far we have come while honoring those who paved the way for future generations of female scientists.
