Title page of Newtons Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, 1687
Title page of Newtons Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, 1687. English scientist and mathematician Isaac 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 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 Isaac Newton's groundbreaking work, "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica" published in 1687. As one of England's most revered scientists and mathematicians, Newton's discoveries left an indelible mark on both science and thought. Within this monumental book, Newton outlined his revolutionary theories of gravity and presented his three laws of motion. His profound insights into these fundamental principles forever changed our understanding of the physical world. Additionally, Newton is credited with the discovery of differential calculus, a mathematical tool that has since become indispensable in various fields. Newton's intellectual prowess extended beyond physics as he also delved into optics and made significant contributions to our understanding of light. In fact, his innovative ideas led him to construct the first reflecting telescope—an achievement that further solidified his status as a visionary scientist. Recognizing his exceptional contributions to knowledge and society, Queen Anne knighted Newton in 1705. Today, he rests at Westminster Abbey in London—a testament to his enduring legacy. This remarkable print captures not only the significance of Newton's work but also serves as a visual reminder of how one individual can shape scientific progress for generations to come.
