EDITORS COMMENTS
This line engraving from 1701 depicts Nehemiah Grew, a prominent English physician and plant physiologist of his time. The intricate details of the print showcase the elegance and sophistication that was associated with scholars during this period. Draped in an elaborate wig, Grew exudes an air of intellect and authority. As a devout Christian, Grew's work as a botanist and physiologist was deeply rooted in his faith. He believed that studying plants could reveal God's divine design and provide insights into the natural world. His contributions to the field were groundbreaking, pioneering new methods for studying plant anatomy and physiology. The artist has skillfully captured Grew's likeness through delicate lines and shading techniques commonly used in engravings of this era. The cartouche surrounding his portrait adds a touch of grandeur, emphasizing his importance as a scholar. This print serves as both a historical artifact and a testament to Grew's significant contributions to science. It offers us a glimpse into the life of an influential figure who dedicated himself to understanding the intricacies of nature while remaining steadfast in his religious beliefs.
