Title page of Opticks by English scientist and mathematician Isaac Newton, 1794. Newtons (1642-1727) 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, set out in Opticks, 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 showcases the title page of Opticks, a groundbreaking book written by the renowned English scientist and mathematician, Sir Isaac Newton. Published in 1794, this masterpiece represents Newton's profound discoveries that left an indelible mark on both science and thought. Newton's contributions to various fields were nothing short of prolific. His revolutionary theories of gravity and three laws of motion, expounded upon in his seminal work Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (1687), revolutionized our understanding of the physical world. Additionally, he is credited with co-discovering differential calculus alongside German mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. Opticks delves into Newton's theories regarding optics and the nature of light – concepts that led him to construct the first reflecting telescope. This remarkable achievement further solidified his status as one of history's greatest scientific minds. Knighted by Queen Anne in 1705 for his exceptional contributions to humanity, Sir Isaac Newton rests eternally at Westminster Abbey in London – a testament to his enduring legacy. This print not only captures the essence of Newton's intellectual prowess but also serves as a reminder that knowledge knows no bounds when driven by curiosity and dedication. It stands as a tribute to an extraordinary individual whose ideas continue to shape our understanding of the universe today.
