EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration by Linley Sambourne for Charles Kingsley's "The Water Babies," we see Tom, the run-away chimney sweep's boy who falls into the river and transforms into a Water Baby, being examined by two prominent figures in the scientific community - Richard Owen and Thomas Henry Huxley. On the left, we have Richard Owen, known for his opposition to Darwinism, standing with a critical gaze as he observes the miraculous transformation of Tom. In stark contrast, Thomas Henry Huxley, famously referred to as 'Darwin's bulldog' for his fierce defense of Darwin's theory of evolution, stands on the right with an expression of awe and fascination. This scene beautifully captures the clash between traditional beliefs and progressive scientific thought that was prevalent during this time period. The juxtaposition of Owen and Huxley symbolizes the ongoing debate between creationism and evolution that continues to shape our understanding of the natural world. "The Water Babies" was first published in 1863 but remains a timeless classic that explores themes of redemption, growth, and transformation. Through Sambourne's intricate illustration, we are transported into a fantastical world where reality blends seamlessly with fiction, inviting us to ponder life's mysteries and possibilities.
