Continuing with entries on this blog of the portrait sculpture of Isaac Newton.

See my previous blog posts - these are not finished essays but a collection of loose notes and photographs of the various portraits of Newton - none of these entries is definitive - It is my intention to edit them into a more coherent whole in the future.

I am hugely grateful to Nicolas Bell librarian at the Wren Library for making me welcome and obtaining my permission to photograph the sculpture in the Wren Library.
