The Newtonian System - Plate 6

1846
Isaac Frost
Celestial - Solar System
10.8" x 7.8"

$150.00

Very unusual Baxter print showing the Newtonian view of the Solar System. This depicts the orbit of the Earth, as well as a Fixed Star as they revolve around the sun. The Muggletonian argument by Isaac Frost against Newton's ideas is along the bottom of the diagram. Wonderful, simple piece, engraved by W. P. Clubb & Son.
