Plate X .
[Designed by Thomas Wright.]
[n.d. c. 1750.]
Mezzotint with etching. 207 x 128mm. Margins trimmed, glued to album page at corners. Plate number crossed out with three ink lines.
According to the inventor of this design, Thomas Wright of Durham [1711 - 1786] this plate 'represents the Sun and Moon in the just Proportion of their mean Diameters, with two of the Comets A and B, and the five erratick (sic) Planets, as they are observed at the Earth, in a middle State of their Distances from it.' Faint etched symbols are visible below the five planets in a horizontal line across the centre of the composition. Wright was an astronomer, mathematician, instrument maker, architect and garden designer. This is one of 32 plates from his best known and now extremely scarce publication: 'An Original Theory Or New Hypothesis Of The Universe, Founded upon the Laws of Nature, And Solving By Mathematical Principles The General Phenomena of the Visible Creation; And Particularly The Via Lactea.' (4to, 1750). It explained the Milky Way as an optical effect of the earth's immersion in a layer of stars. He introduced to the scientific community the possibility that the stars themselves revolved around a central point, 'as do the planets around the Sun', and made Wright the first man to present a theory of galaxies in scientific terms. A devoutly religious man, Wright attempted to reconcile the idea of heaven with the physical universe. He calculated that there must exist 'within the whole celestial Area 60,000,000 planetary worlds like ours' and believed that heaven was equally accessible to souls from the worlds of all suns. His theories had a great influence on Immanuel Kant and his 'Universal Natural History and Theory of Heaven'. The title page describes the volume as 'Illustrated with upwards of Thirty Graven and Mezzotinto Plates, By the Best Masters', though he names none of them. Wright published the book himself, and the List of Subscribers included Lords Anson and Cornwallis. This impression compares favourably with the copy in the Wellcome Library.
