Pierre de Fermat, 17th century French mathematician, 1870
Pierre de Fermat, 17th century French mathematician, 1870. Fermats (1601-1665) contributions to mathematics include the founding of analytic geometry, the calculus of probabilities and modern arithmetic. He is probably best remembered for the theorem, known as Fermats last theorem, which baffled mathematicians for three centuries until finaly proved in 1995. From Vies des Savants Ilustres by Louis Figuier. (Paris, 1870)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Pierre de Fermat, a renowned 17th-century French mathematician. Taken in 1870, the image showcases Fermat's intellectual prowess and his significant contributions to the field of mathematics. Known for founding analytic geometry, developing the calculus of probabilities, and revolutionizing modern arithmetic, Fermat left an indelible mark on mathematical theory. However, it is perhaps his enigmatic theorem that has immortalized him in history. Referred to as "Fermat's Last Theorem" this puzzle perplexed mathematicians for three centuries until its eventual proof in 1995. This enduring mystery adds an air of intrigue to Fermat's legacy. The portrait depicts a pensive man surrounded by mathematical instruments and standing next to a blackboard filled with complex equations. It beautifully encapsulates the essence of a brilliant mind at work. Captured within the pages of Louis Figuier's book "Vies des Savants Illustres" (Paris, 1870), this engraving transports us back to a time when great thinkers like Fermat pushed the boundaries of human knowledge. As we gaze upon this striking image, we are reminded not only of Fermat's genius but also of the timeless pursuit of understanding that drives humanity forward.
