Charles Babbage (1791-1871) English mathematician and pioneer of computing, 1871
Charles Babbage (1791-1871) English mathematician and pioneer of computing, 1871. In the 1820s, Babbage began to develop a Difference Engine which could perform simple mathematical calculations, His detailed 1834 plans of the Analytical Engine showed it to be the first calculating engine to incorporate features that are found in modern computers. It is for this reason that he is said to be the father of computing. However, lack of funding meant his engines were not fully constructed during his lifetime. (Colorised black and white print)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Charles Babbage, an eminent English mathematician and trailblazer in the field of computing. Taken in 1871, it immortalizes a man whose visionary ideas revolutionized the world we live in today. Babbage's genius became evident when he embarked on developing the groundbreaking Difference Engine during the 1820s. This remarkable invention was capable of performing basic mathematical calculations with astounding precision. However, it was his meticulously detailed plans for the Analytical Engine, created in 1834, that truly solidified his status as the father of computing. The Analytical Engine incorporated features that are strikingly similar to those found in modern computers, making Babbage's foresight truly extraordinary. Regrettably, due to insufficient funding throughout his lifetime, neither of these incredible machines were fully constructed. Nevertheless, Babbage's legacy lives on through this mesmerizing portrait which captures both his brilliance and determination. As we gaze upon this colorised print by Charles Babbage himself (although not related to any commercial use), we are reminded of how one individual can shape history through their unwavering pursuit of knowledge and innovation. It is a testament to human potential and serves as an inspiration for future generations who continue to build upon Babbage's pioneering work in mathematics and computing.
