Beskrivning
On the one hand, this study uncovers how approaches to knowledge production differed in the 17th century as compared with the 21st century. On the other, it reveals how the early modern struggle to sort through an overwhelming quantity of visual information - brought on by major changes in image production and circulation - resonates with our own.

Recensioner i media

"Doherty convincingly shows how the development of visual standards in the Royal Society, particularly the emphasis on accuracy in image making, fundamentally shaped scientific practices in the seventeenth century. The engraver’s craft wasn’t just an artistic endeavor—it was integral to the very process of scientific discovery."-Richard T. Bellis, The British Journal for the History of Science, issue 1, 2024, issue 1, 2024
