The Law of Gravitation
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a vibrant and humorous colour lithograph that captures the essence of British humor. Created by Arthur Moreland in 1905, this print showcases his satirical take on history and science. In this visual comedy, Moreland playfully depicts Isaac Newton's famous discovery of gravity under an apple tree. The cartoon-like illustration portrays Newton as a comical figure, surrounded by an abundance of apples falling from the tree above him. With exaggerated expressions and exaggerated features, Moreland adds a touch of whimsy to this scientific breakthrough. The artist cleverly combines elements of English culture with references to Germany, creating a cross-cultural comedic experience. Through caricatures and satire, he pokes fun at both nations while showcasing their contributions to botany and natural history. This satirical drawing not only entertains but also highlights the importance of scientific methods in understanding our world. It serves as a reminder that even groundbreaking discoveries can be approached with lightheartedness. "The Law of Gravitation" is an amusing piece that invites viewers to appreciate the lighter side of historical events. Its bold colors and witty composition make it a delightful addition to any collection or space where laughter is cherished.
