EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Mrs Bryan and her children in a stipple engraving after the remarkable painting by Samuel Shelley. Margaret Bryan, an English teacher, natural philosopher, and author, is depicted alongside her daughters amidst a collection of scientific instruments. Known for running a girls' school at Blackheath in London during the late 18th to early 19th century, Mrs Bryan was highly regarded for her teachings in astronomy and natural philosophy. The engraving serves as the frontispiece for Mrs Margaret Brown's renowned publication titled "A Compendious System of Astronomy" from 1797. It beautifully captures the essence of this extraordinary woman who dedicated herself to educating young minds about science. With an air of intelligence and grace, Mrs Bryan stands proudly surrounded by various scientific tools that symbolize her passion for knowledge. As a mother, teacher, scientist, and author, she defied societal expectations by empowering young girls with education in fields traditionally dominated by men. This image not only commemorates Mrs Bryan's significant contributions but also represents the progress made towards gender equality within British society. Through this enchanting print from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported back in time to witness the impact of one remarkable woman who left an indelible mark on both her students and future generations alike.
