Illustration of Hookes Law on elasticity of materials, showing stretching of a spring, 1678
Illustration of Hookes Law on elasticity of materials, showing stretching of a spring, 1678. Robert Hooke (1635-1703), English scientist and inventor, formulated his law in 1676, stating that the elongation of elastic materials is proportional to the force applied. From De Potentia Restitutiva by Robert Hooke. (London, 1678)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 17th century, showcasing an illustration of Hookes Law on the elasticity of materials. The image depicts a spring being stretched, perfectly capturing the essence of this groundbreaking scientific theory. Robert Hooke, an English scientist and inventor, formulated this law in 1676 as he observed that when force is applied to elastic materials, they elongate proportionally. This revolutionary concept laid the foundation for our understanding of elasticity and has had far-reaching implications in various fields such as physics and engineering. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this image, emphasizing its historical significance. It serves as a visual representation of Hooke's profound contribution to science during a period characterized by great intellectual advancements. Printed from "De Potentia Restitutiva" by Robert Hooke in London, 1678, this piece holds immense value not only for its artistic appeal but also for its educational significance. It offers viewers a glimpse into the mind of one of history's greatest scientific minds. As we gaze upon this remarkable print captured by an unknown creator from Heritage Images' collection at Oxford Science Archive Print Collector1, we are reminded once again that knowledge knows no boundaries or limitations - it transcends time and continues to inspire generations with its enduring wisdom.
