About this photo
The image shows the title page of a book. The focus is the title page of "PHILOSOPHIAE NATURALIS PRINCIPIA MATHEMATICA". The text on the page reads: "PHILOSOPHIAE NATURALIS PRINCIPIA MATHEMATICA. Autore J S. NEWTON, Trin. Coll. Cantab. Soc. Mathefeos Profeffore Lucafiano, & Societatis Regalis Sodali. IMPRIMATUR. S. PEPYS, Reg. Soc. PRÆSES. Julii 5. 1686. LONDINI, Juffu Societatis Regiæ ac Typis Jofephi Streater. Proftat apud plures Bibliopolas. Anno MDCLXXXVII." The mood/style is formal and academic. The notable detail is the old, yellowed paper and the Latin text.
