An engraved portrait of Margaret Bryan (fl. 1795-1816), educator and writer on natural philosophy, with her daughters. They are depicted with a telescope, armillary sphere, globe, sextant and dividers. Bryan ran a boarding-school for girls at Blackheath from 1795 to 1806, opened a school in London in 1815, and moved to Margate in 1816, where she also ran a school. Unusually, she included science and mathematics as subjects suitable for girls.
Her books include A Compendious System of Astronomy (1797) (from which this image is taken), Lectures on Natural Philosophy (1806), An Astronomical and Geographical Class Book for Schools (1815). She was able to obtain the approval of the mathematician Charles Hutton (1737-1823), and was a friend of the Astronomer Royal, Nevil Maskeleyne (1732-1811). She was the scientific advisor for a 1804 revised version of the board game Science in Sport, or the Pleasures of Astronomy (image number F6442).); © National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London

EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1797 depicts Mrs. Bryan and her children, surrounded by scientific instruments such as a telescope, armillary sphere, globe, sextant, and dividers. Margaret Bryan was not only an educator but also a writer on natural philosophy during a time when science and mathematics were considered unconventional subjects for girls.
Mrs. Bryan ran a boarding school for girls at Blackheath from 1795 to 1806 before opening another school in London in 1815. She later moved to Margate in 1816 where she continued her educational pursuits. Her dedication to including science and mathematics in the curriculum for young women was ahead of its time.
Her books, including "A Compendious System of Astronomy" (1797) showcased her expertise in the field of natural philosophy. She even had the approval of renowned mathematicians like Charles Hutton and was friends with Astronomer Royal Nevil Maskelyne.
This portrait not only captures Mrs. Bryan's commitment to education but also serves as a reminder of the importance of empowering women through knowledge and learning. The presence of scientific tools in the image symbolizes her progressive approach towards education that continues to inspire generations till today.
