EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned 1881 Charles Darwin portrait, immortalizing the English naturalist and author of the groundbreaking "Origin of Species". Created by artist John Collier, this hand-coloured aquatint captures Darwin's essence with remarkable precision. In fact, his son Francis Darwin hailed Collier's masterpiece as the finest representation of his father's countenance. Charles Robert Darwin, born on February 12th, 1809 and departing on April 19th, 1882, forever altered our understanding of life sciences through his theory of evolution by natural selection. This controversial idea remains one of science's greatest contributions to date. The intricacies depicted in this Victorian-era illustration highlight not only Darwin's genius but also his profound impact on human knowledge. As a biologist and zoologist aboard HMS Beagle during its historic voyage from 1831 to 1836, Darwin meticulously observed various species across different continents. His encounters with diverse ecosystems inspired him to develop a revolutionary concept that challenged prevailing beliefs about human evolution. Alongside fellow scientists Alfred Russel Wallace and Thomas Huxley, Charles Darwin spearheaded an intellectual revolution that reshaped our perception of humanity's origins. Today, we owe much to these visionaries for laying the foundation upon which modern life sciences stand. Paul D. Stewart expertly captures the essence of this iconic artwork in this print from Science Photo Library. It serves as a powerful reminder not only of Charles Darwin’s immense contribution but also how art can beautifully intertw
