Beschreibung

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.

Portrait

Meghan C. Doherty is the Director of the Museum of the White Mountains at Plymouth State University in Plymouth, NH. Her research focuses on the connections between art and science, particularly as seen in the visual culture of the early Royal Society of London.
