EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical lithograph captures the iconic moment when Sir Isaac Newton unraveled the mysteries of gravity. Created in 1936 by Rene Bull, this colorful print showcases Newton's groundbreaking discovery with a touch of humor and charm. In this scene, set against a picturesque rural backdrop, we find Newton deep in thought, seated beneath an apple tree. With his signature wig slightly askew and a look of astonishment on his face, he gazes at an apple that has just fallen to the ground before him. This comical portrayal perfectly encapsulates the eureka moment when gravity was unveiled to mankind. Part of a series called "Howlers" these cigarette cards were produced for Churchman's as playful collectibles. However, Bull's artistic skill elevates this image beyond mere advertisement into a delightful work of art. The illustration not only pays tribute to Newton's scientific genius but also evokes nostalgia for the 17th century setting. The attention to detail in capturing both the landscape and Newton himself is remarkable. With its vivid colors and clever composition, this vintage card invites us to reflect on one of history's most significant discoveries while bringing joy through its lighthearted approach. It serves as a reminder that even great scientific breakthroughs can be accompanied by moments of surprise and amusement.
