Description

The rare genius, Isaac Newton

English physicist, mathematician, and astronomer (1643-1727), widely regarded as the most influential figure in the history of science, whose ideas and discoveries, including calculus, the laws of gravitation and motion, and observations on the nature of light and optics, earned him a place among the most profound geniuses in the history of mankind. Exceedingly rare and highly sought-after ink signature, “Is. Newton,” on an irregularly clipped off-white 2 x .5 slip. The signature is affixed to a slightly larger page. Handsomely cloth-matted and framed with a portrait to an overall size of 12 x 16.5. Scattered toning and soiling, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA. Newton is extremely rare in any form, and this crisply penned signature represents a cornerstone piece for any collection.
