EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a portrait of Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727), an English physicist, astronomer, and mathematician of the 17th and 18th centuries. The image, titled "Opuscula Mathematica, Philosophica et Philologica. Volume I: Mathematica," was published in Lausanne and Geneva in 1744. The cover boasts a two-color design, with an intricately detailed intaglio engraving of Newton's portrait at its bottom. The engravers responsible for this masterpiece were Ferdinand Delamonce and Claude Duflos. Newton's original work, from which this print was derived, dates back to 1686. The title of the collection translates to "Mathematical Tracts, Philosophical and Philological," indicating the multidisciplinary nature of Newton's work. Newton's groundbreaking contributions to mathematics, physics, and astronomy during the modern age earned him a place among the greatest minds in history. The portrait itself exudes an air of intellectual brilliance and authority. Newton is depicted wearing the insignia of an Equite Auratus, or Knight of the Golden Fleece, reflecting his knighthood by King Charles II in 1705. The Latin inscription above the portrait reads "Isaaci Newtoni," further emphasizing the significance of the man and his work. This print is a testament to the enduring influence of Newton's scientific discoveries and his impact on various fields, including mathematics, science, philosophy, and theology. The intricate engraving and elegant design of the cover add to its historical and artistic value, making it a valuable addition to any collection focused on the scientific revolution or the history of mathematics and physics.
