Happy birthday to chemist William Henry Perkin (1838-1907)! This #lino block 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

Me and Kenya relaxing with some MASH, after me being to the psychologist, , then making a chick pea curry, and then teaching and online seminar for my fashion history course. Today we discussed clothing in Greek and Roman Antiquity, the Viking Age, and, mostly, the Medieval period. Students were great as always.
