Etienne-Louis Boullée Cenotaph for Isaac Newton Art Print This monochrome art print reproduces three plates from the visionary 1784 architectural project by Etienne-Louis Boullée for a Cenotaph for Sir Isaac Newton. The composition is arranged in three registers: the uppermost illustrates the exterior elevation of the monumental spherical structure; the central register depicts the interior cross-section configured for the night effect, where light filters through the dome to create an artificial firmament; and the lower register shows the interior day effect featuring a centrally suspended armillary sphere. The print is a modern reproduction on smooth white paper. Small printed captions and architectural notations are visible within the plates. No signature, publisher's mark, or edition numbering is present. Paper height: 15.5 inches (39.4 cm) Paper width: 11.75 inches (29.8 cm).
