Happy birthday to chemist William Henry Perkin (1838-1907)! This #lino print ‘William Henry Perkin Discovers Mauve’ is about how the British chemist & entrepreneur made the serendipitous discovery of the 1st synthetic organic dye: mauveine.
Perkins entered the Royal College of Chemistry in London in 1853 when he was only 15, studying with August Wilhelm von Hofmann. 🧵1/n #linocut#printmaking#sciart#chemistry#syntheticChemistry#dye#histstm#chemist#FashionHistory#histchem#MastoArt
Last International (Non-UK) is TODAY!!
Get your orders in quick to avoid disappointment.
Sorry for it being so early but international post has never really recovered since the pandemic and everything is snail mail now!
If you see this late and still want something let me know and I'll see what I can do but expedited shipping might be required to get orders to you before Xmas!
First of the new cards this year! My take on the Welsh folk tradition of Mari Lwyd.
Nothing says Xmas than a skeletal horse banging on your door for beer and snacks in my opinion! And I know the Welsh feel the same.
Let’s go a-wassailing!
