Plate showing diagram of the optics of a reflecting telescope (Fig 29), 1704
Plate showing diagram of the optics of a reflecting telescope (Fig 29), 1704. English physicist and mathematician Isaac Newton (1642-1727) first separated white light into the colours of the spectrum by using a prism in 1666. His theories regarding optics and the nature of light, set out in Opticks, led to him building the first reflecting telescope. Newtons discoveries were prolific and exerted a huge influence on science and thought. From Opticks by Isaac Newton. (London, 1704)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a plate from Isaac Newton's groundbreaking work, "Opticks" published in 1704. The plate depicts a diagram illustrating the optics of a reflecting telescope, an invention that revolutionized the field of astronomy. Isaac Newton, renowned English physicist and mathematician, is widely regarded as one of history's greatest scientific minds. In 1666, he made a significant breakthrough by using a prism to separate white light into its constituent colors, thus discovering the spectrum. This pivotal moment laid the foundation for his extensive research on optics and light. Newton's theories on these subjects were expounded upon in his seminal work "Opticks". His revolutionary ideas not only transformed our understanding of light but also led him to construct the first-ever reflecting telescope. This innovative device utilized mirrors instead of lenses to capture celestial images with remarkable precision. The impact of Newton's discoveries cannot be overstated; they exerted an immense influence on both science and thought during his time and continue to shape our understanding today. As we gaze at this engraving from the eighteenth century, we are reminded of Newton's profound contributions to mathematics, physics, and scientific inquiry as a whole. This print serves as a testament to Sir Isaac Newton's brilliance as well as an enduring symbol of human curiosity and ingenuity in unraveling nature's mysteries through innovation and technological advancement.
