Sir Isaac Newtons house, London, (20th century)
Sir Isaac Newtons house, London, (20th century). Newtons (1642-1727) house on the corner of Orange and St Martins Streets was pulled down in 1914. English scientist and mathematician Isaac Newtons discoveries were prolific and exerted a huge influence on science and thought. His theories of gravity and his three laws of motion were outlined in his greatest work, Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, (1687) and he is credited with discovering differential calculus. He also formulated theories regarding optics and the nature of light that led to him building the first reflecting telescope. Knighted by Queen Anne in 1705, Newton is buried in Westminster Abbey, London

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historical significance of Sir Isaac Newton's house in London during the 20th century. The image showcases the corner location of Newton's former residence on Orange and St Martins Streets, which unfortunately was demolished in 1914. Sir Isaac Newton, an eminent English scientist and mathematician, left an indelible mark on science and thought with his groundbreaking discoveries. His revolutionary theories of gravity and three laws of motion were expounded upon in his seminal work, Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (1687). Additionally, he is credited with the discovery of differential calculus and formulated significant theories pertaining to optics and light that led to his invention of the first reflecting telescope. Knighted by Queen Anne in 1705 for his exceptional contributions to knowledge, Newton found his final resting place at Westminster Abbey in London. This photograph not only highlights the physical structure where this brilliant mind once resided but also serves as a reminder of Newton's immense impact on various fields such as astronomy, physics, mathematics, and more. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this image while emphasizing its historical context. As we gaze upon this print from Heritage Images' collection without any commercial intent or mention thereof, we are transported back to a bygone era when one man's intellect reshaped our understanding of the universe.
