- Authors
Gaskell, Roger
- Abstract
Meghan C. Doherty's book, "Engraving Accuracy in Early Modern England: Visual Communication and the Royal Society," explores the role of image-making in the early Royal Society of London and its impact on the establishment of scientific knowledge. Doherty argues that engraving, like the air pump and microscope, can be seen as a scientific instrument that contributes to the creation of accurate illustrations. The book examines case studies, including the use of engraving in anatomy, microscopy, ornithology, and the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society. Overall, the book offers a significant contribution to the study of scientific illustration and the development of early modern science.
