This shift is further contextualised in terms of wider cultural and philosophical trends that downgraded the status of visual imagery in serious discourse. The Varoom article considers the nature of image and text in early 17 th Century alchemical publications, exemplified by the works of Dr Robert Fludd and Michael Maier, and the shift in the nature of illustration in science that followed the rejection of alchemy by Francis Bacon and others.
How can science, and our understanding of it benefit from using the image? In issue 22 of Varoom Adrian Holme explores the moment in history when visual argument, and the rich use of illustration in the field of ‘Alchemy’, disappeared from the field of science. Modern scientific argument is primarily delivered in the written word – but that was not always the case.
