My lino block print portrait for #PrinterSolstice prompt addition shows the amateur pioneering American scientist, inventor & women's rights advocate Eunice Newton Foote (1819-1888) who did the earliest experiments to show the insulating effect of certain gases & correctly concluded that increasing carbon dioxide levels would affect atmospheric temperature and climate, which we now call the Greenhouse Effect. 🧵

My linocut shows a Victorian woman in dress with apron and sleeves working at a table. She’s viewed from over her shoulder so you can only see her cheek and not her whole face. She has an open book in which she is writing. There is an air pump to one side and two large glass cylinders, each with two thermometers inside. She is printed in a gradient of pale blue at the bottom to bronze at the top on cream coloured washi paper. The numbered and signed print is titled “Eunice Newton Foote.”
