This is a Wood Engraving / illustration / print that has been taken from a book dated 1894 and is ready for framing. Measures approximately 11 1/2 x 9 inches.
In 1666, Newton was 23-year old student at Cambridge University. He experimented in optics to understand light and colors. At the time, it was believed that color was a mixture of light and darkness, and that prisms produced the color. One sunny day, Newton darkened his room and made a hole 1/3-inch wide in his window shutter, letting one beam of sunlight to enter the room. He placed a glass prism in the sunbeam, projecting the light onto a white sheet of paper resting on a chair. He observed a stretched image of the sun, mainly white with a blue upper edge and red lower edge.
