EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour engraving portrays Augusta Ada King, the Countess of Lovelace, a remarkable figure in history. Born as Augusta Ada Byron on December 10,1815, she is widely recognized as Ada Lovelace and hailed as an English mathematician and writer ahead of her time. Ada Lovelace's notable achievements revolve around her groundbreaking work with Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine, an early mechanical general-purpose computer. In fact, her extensive notes on this revolutionary machine contain what is now acknowledged as the first algorithm ever designed to be processed by a computer. Due to this extraordinary accomplishment, she has earned the title of being the world's first computer programmer. Beyond her contributions to mathematics and computing, this portrait highlights Ada Lovelace's elegance and intellect. Her refined features are captured beautifully by Alfred-Edward Chalon in this prismatic picture from a private collection. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the immense impact that one woman had on shaping modern technology. Ada Lovelace was not only a brilliant mathematician but also a talented writer who left an indelible mark on both fields. Her legacy continues to inspire generations of women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) today.
