EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the frontispiece of "A New System of Mathematicks" by Jonas Moore, completed in 1681. Originally intended as a textbook for the mathematical school at Christs Hospital, this educational masterpiece was left unfinished upon Moore's untimely death. However, it was skillfully brought to completion by John Flamsteed and John Perkins. The significance of this book lies in its purpose: to equip young boys with the necessary skills of surveying and navigation. These were vital abilities needed to support England's flourishing trade and exploration endeavors during the 17th century. The frontispiece itself is an intricate engraving that depicts various elements related to mathematics and science. In this image, we see a group of distinguished men gathered around a table, engrossed in their scholarly pursuits. They represent the occupation of scientists who dedicated their lives to advancing knowledge in mathematics and other scientific disciplines. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the importance placed on education during this era. With its monochrome aesthetic, this photograph transports us back to seventeenth-century Britain - a time when learning was highly valued and celebrated. It reminds us of the profound impact that individuals like Sir Jonas Moore had on shaping our understanding of mathematics and its practical applications throughout history.
