Sunday Stamps - 'N'

1993, Germany

Issued for the 360th anniversary of Isaac Newtons birth. Newton developed three laws of motion, of which the second law is shown in the equation on the stamp. Also shown is his experiment where he refracts white light with a prism into its constituent colours of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet.

This one makes a quite interesting stamp. I like especially the science-related stamps, and the fact they have included the prism on the edge.

a cool stamp on a subject I have always been terrible at (maths, physics, etc :P)

Love the amount of detail on the stamp and Newton's clear gaze.

Great stamp - and a fun coincidence that I also chose something science related.

Great man and a fine stamp. I have a science related Nobel Prize winner with a science connection.
