Engraving of Charles Darwin in 1874, aged 65
Charles Darwin. Engraving of English naturalist Charles Robert Darwin (1809-1882) in 1874, aged 65. As a young man Darwin briefly studied medicine then trained in the clergy, but his interest was in natural history. In 1831 he set sail as naturalist on HMS Beagle, which was to provide the fieldwork for his famous book: Origin of Species (1859). His theory of natural selection suggested that natural variation in a species creates a wide range of individual traits, some more useful than others. Competition to survive provides a driving force for evolution in the form of natural selection. His theory fuelled bitter controversy. Darwin is buried in Westminster Abbey

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving of Charles Darwin, the renowned English naturalist, at the age of 65 in 1874. Throughout his life, Darwin's unwavering passion for natural history propelled him to become one of the most influential figures in scientific exploration. Despite initially pursuing medicine and training as a clergyman, it was his deep fascination with nature that ultimately shaped his destiny. In 1831, Darwin embarked on a momentous journey aboard HMS Beagle as its resident naturalist. This expedition would serve as the foundation for his groundbreaking book: Origin of Species (1859). Within its pages lay a revolutionary theory - natural selection. Darwin proposed that within any given species, variations exist among individuals and some traits prove more advantageous than others in their struggle for survival. Thus, competition acts as a driving force behind evolution through the process of natural selection. However, this audacious theory sparked intense controversy during its time and continues to be debated even today. Nevertheless, Charles Darwin's legacy remains indelible; he is interred at Westminster Abbey—a testament to his profound impact on science. This remarkable print allows us to glimpse into the visage of a man whose ideas forever transformed our understanding of biology and evolution. It serves as a poignant reminder that curiosity coupled with relentless pursuit can lead to extraordinary discoveries that shape our world.
