The Newtonian System

184620598Original Muggletonian Celestial Astronomical Baxter printThe Newtonian SystemDrawn by Isaac Frost Engraved by Clubb & Son London. Printed in oil by George Baxter.Plate 3 showing the orbit of the planets out to Jupiter as they revolve around the Sun. Distances between the sun and the planets is shown. Note the four Galilean moons of Jupiter at the far left. The colors on this plate are extremely subtleThe Baxter oil print shown here was made in 1846 for the private use of the Muggletonians an English religious group that denied a sun-centered solar system. The Muggletonians derived their own view of the universe and these plates are among the rarest of all Baxter prints having been made for private use and never widely circulated. Part of a larger set total eleven prints made for Isaac Frost's Two Systems of Astronomy this print was never bound into a book but remained as a loose printed sheet. It is surmised that the others in this series were lost in the London Blitz when the Muggletonian archives were largely destroyed. The Baxter process a complex and costly printing process produced a spectacular image and the plates are strikingly beautiful. This Muggletonian astronomical print measures about 7 5/8 x 10 7/8 inches with decent margins. Condition is very good with the slightest of marginal browning not affecting image. Baxter Muggletonian prints are scarce and were unknown to C. T. Courtney Lewis in the first edition of his work on George Baxter. This print is guaranteed original and is not a reproduction as sold elsewhere. This print was drawn by Isaac Frost engraved by Clubb & Son and printed by Baxter.The plates we have for sale were printed for a work titled "Two Systems of Astronomy" and were most likely circulated only to members of the sect and not sold as a commercial publication due to the expensive Baxter colour process. These plates were produced to illustrate an alternative to the Newtonian beliefs of gravity and terrestrial and celestial motion and are important in the history of the relationship between religion and science. Our plates were never bound into a book but were separately published as single leaves. George Baxter books
