Natural Selection, 1871 - A Caricature of Charles Darwin
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of British naturalist Charles Darwin, a man whose groundbreaking contributions to biology and his theory of evolution forever changed our understanding of the world. Created by Coide in 1871 for Vanity Fair, this lithograph showcases Darwin's distinct personality and iconic appearance. With his body comfortably seated on an elegant chair, legs crossed and beard flowing gracefully, Darwin exudes wisdom and intellect. His bearded face reflects the experiences he gained during his six-year voyage aboard HMS Beagle as he surveyed the South American seas. It was these adventures that laid the foundation for his revolutionary ideas. Darwin's most celebrated work, "The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection" published in 1859, propelled him into scientific stardom. This caricature immortalizes him as a Victorian-era biologist and scientist who dared to challenge conventional beliefs about creationism. As we gaze upon this colorful portrait from another century, we are reminded not only of Darwin's significant contribution but also of the power that one individual can have in shaping our understanding of life itself. The print serves as a testament to both Coide's artistic talent and James Jacques Tissot's skillful execution as The Print Collector. Let us cherish this remarkable piece that encapsulates an era when science clashed with tradition and paved the way for new discoveries about our origins through natural selection.
