Isaac Newtons rooms at Cambridge
Engraved view of the rooms occupied by Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) at Trinity College, Cambridge. The rooms (at centre) are the supposed living quarters of the English physicist & mathematician during his later period. Newton spent nearly 40 years at Trinity College, first as undergraduate, and then as Lucasian Professor of Mathematics. It was here that he wrote his most influential scientific work: " Principia Mathematica", which describes his three laws of motion. From these laws he deduced the law of universal gravitation. Newton also invented the mathematics of calculus; & theories on mechanics and optics. This engraving is a copy of the original engraving by Loggan

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print offers a glimpse into the hallowed rooms of Sir Isaac Newton at Trinity College, Cambridge. These very chambers served as the abode for the renowned English physicist and mathematician during his later years. Newton's association with Trinity College spanned almost four decades, commencing from his undergraduate days to his prestigious role as Lucasian Professor of Mathematics. Within these walls, Newton penned his groundbreaking scientific masterpiece, "Principia Mathematica" which revolutionized our understanding of motion by introducing his three laws. From these fundamental principles, he deduced the law of universal gravitation that continues to shape our comprehension of celestial mechanics today. Moreover, it was in this sanctuary that Newton conceived calculus and formulated pioneering theories on mechanics and optics. The engraving presented here is a remarkable reproduction of Loggan's original artwork—an exquisite testament to the significance bestowed upon Newton's living quarters. As we delve into this image captured by Science Photo Library, we are transported back in time to witness where one man's genius flourished within these very confines—a place where profound ideas were born and scientific history was made.
