EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1682, offering a glimpse into the world of one of history's greatest scientific minds - Sir Isaac Newton. The image showcases two remarkable aspects of Newton's life: a letter written by him and a view of his birthplace in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire. The first part of the print features an intricate facsimile extract from Newton's letter to Dr Briggs, discussing his Theory of Vision. This correspondence sheds light on Newton's groundbreaking work in optics and his relentless pursuit to understand the nature of sight and eyesight. It serves as a testament to his genius and unwavering dedication to unraveling the mysteries of science. The second part transports us to St Martins Street in London, where we find ourselves inside Newton's observatory. This interior view provides insight into the environment that fostered some of his most significant discoveries. Surrounded by instruments and manuscripts, this space served as a sanctuary for exploration and experimentation. Accompanied by monochrome aesthetics that evoke a sense of timelessness, this 19th-century print captures both the intellectual prowess and humble origins of Sir Isaac Newton. It reminds us that even great minds are born from ordinary places like Woolsthorpe Manor. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of Newton's immense contributions to science but also how education can shape destinies. Through this visual journey spanning centuries, we pay homage to one man who forever changed our understanding of physics
