Sir Isaac Newton (1643-1727), English mathematician, astronomer and physicist, 1924
Sir Isaac Newton (1643-1727), English mathematician, astronomer and physicist, 19th century. Newtons 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. Taken from the Leaders of Men cigarette cards produced by Ogdens 1924

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the brilliant mind and influential figure of Sir Isaac Newton, an English mathematician, astronomer, and physicist. Taken in 1924, it captures the essence of a man who lived during the 17th century but left an indelible mark on science and thought that still resonates today. Newton's discoveries were nothing short of prolific, revolutionizing our understanding of gravity and motion through his three laws. His groundbreaking work was published in his magnum opus "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica" in 1687. Additionally, he is credited with discovering differential calculus and formulating theories on optics that led to the construction of the first reflecting telescope. Knighted by Queen Anne in 1705 for his immense contributions to knowledge and society, Newton rests eternally at Westminster Abbey in London. This photograph is part of the esteemed Leaders of Men cigarette cards produced by Ogdens in 1924. The image portrays Newton as a distinguished gentleman wearing a wig adorned with curls—a common fashion choice during his time. The colorized print adds vibrancy to this snapshot from history while honoring one of England's most famous scientists. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait, we are reminded not only of Newton's intellectual prowess but also his lasting impact on mathematics, astronomy, physics, and beyond.
