Illuminate your space with a piece of scientific history!
This premium matte vertical poster features the title page of Isaac Newton's 'Opticks,' from the very copy gifted by Newton himself to his colleague Edmund Halley. This is no ordinary title page. In Halley's own hand, two inscriptions adorn the page: 'Ex dono doctissimi Authoris' ('from the gift of the most learned author') and 'Luceo' ('I shine' or 'I become light'). This adds a unique personal touch to the work. The former inscription serves as a touching tribute to the friendship and collegiality of the two great minds, the latter has a clear meaning in the context of Newton's theory of light and colours.
Printed on museum-grade 175gsm fine art paper with top-tier pigmented archival inks, this poster will bring a touch of scholarly elegance to any room. The matte finish ensures no glare, allowing the detail of the print to shine through. Available in a variety of sizes, you'll find the perfect fit for your space. Perfect for any science lover, historian, or anyone who admires the achievements of the human intellect.
