Own a piece of scientific history with this beautiful semi-glossy poster featuring the title page of Isaac Newton's groundbreaking work, Opticks. This isn't just any edition of Newton's book; this is a reproduction from the copy personally gifted to his friend and colleague Edmund Halley. The title page includes two inscriptions in Latin, in Halley's own hand. One, 'Ex dono doctissimi Authoris' meaning 'from the gift of the most learned author'. The other, 'Luceo' meaning 'I shine' or 'I become light'. These inscriptions capture the friendship and mutual respect between two giants of science.
Printed on high-quality, 170 gsm (65 lb) semi-glossy paper, this poster boasts a silky touch and enhances the colors with a subtle shine. The 0.19 mm (7.5 mils) thickness of the paper ensures durability. The poster's semi-glossy finish gives it a subtle sheen that makes it perfect for any room, from your home office to your classroom or lab. This is a beautiful tribute to the work of Newton, and to the historic friendship between two great scientific minds.
