Allegorical monument to Isaac Newton and his theory of prisms
A black-and-white line engraving of a grand classical hall with arches, fluted columns and a tall pedestal-like monument at center, where robed figures gather. A beam of light passes through a prism-like form, and small figures with instruments and globes occupy the steps below. Latin inscription lines appear along the bottom edge.
