EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in the world of science and royalty. Urbain Jean Joseph Le Verrier, renowned French mathematician specializing in celestial mechanics, stands tall on the right side of the frame. He is received by King Louis-Philippe I, who stands regally on the left. The setting is none other than the magnificent Tuilleries in Paris, France. The year is 1846, and Le Verrier has just made an extraordinary discovery - he has found the planet Neptune! This groundbreaking achievement solidifies his place as one of history's greatest astronomers. In this image, we witness him being honored for his remarkable contribution to scientific knowledge. Le Verrier exudes confidence and intellect as he engages with King Louis-Philippe I. His passion for understanding the mysteries of our universe shines through his eyes. The king himself appears intrigued by Le Verrier's accomplishment, recognizing its significance for both science and their nation. This engraving from Les Merveilles de la Science was published around 1870 but immortalizes a pivotal moment in history that occurred over two decades prior. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and determination to unravel nature's secrets. As we gaze upon this photograph print today, we are reminded of these brilliant minds who shaped our understanding of celestial mechanics while standing within the grandeur of royal surroundings.
