Behind the print

Ada Lovelace

Mathematician · 1815–1852

The scientist

Ada Lovelace, daughter of the poet Lord Byron, worked with Charles Babbage on his Analytical Engine, a mechanical computer that was never built. In 1843 she translated an article about it and added her own notes, three times longer than the original. The last, Note G, sets out how the machine could calculate Bernoulli numbers: the first published computer program.

“We may say most aptly that the Analytical Engine weaves algebraical patterns just as the Jacquard loom weaves flowers and leaves.”

What’s in the print

  1. The portrait

    Ada in an engraved Victorian style, flowers in her hair, which echoes her line about the loom.

  2. The punched cards

    The Analytical Engine was to be programmed with punched cards borrowed from the Jacquard weaving loom. Here they stand behind her like a skyline.

  3. The winding ribbon

    A strip of punched tape and figures curling around her: the step-by-step instructions of Note G, turned into ornament.
