Isaac Newton, as President of the Royal Society, did much to obscure Robert Hooke–who died #OTD 1703–reputedly destroying the only known portrait of the man. A natural philosopher, architect & polymath, Hooke was "…an indefatigable Genius even almost to the last". #Micrographia

Polymath, Edward Lear–died #OTD 1888–was the first major bird artist to draw birds from real live birds, instead of skins. His nonsense works are distinguished by a facility of verbal invention & a poet's delight in the sounds of words, both real & imaginary.
