EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the renowned English biologist, Thomas Henry Huxley, in 1881. The image was beautifully crafted by artist Edward Linley Sambourne as part of his Fancy Portrait Series for Punch magazine. Huxley, a prominent supporter of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, played a crucial role in the heated controversy surrounding this groundbreaking idea during the 19th century. In this caricature-like portrait, Huxley is depicted wearing a distinctive hat known as a souwester and an oilskin coat, reflecting his occupation as Inspector of Fisheries from 1881 to 1885. The Victorian-era backdrop adds an air of sophistication to the image while emphasizing Huxley's contribution to science and biology. The cartoonish style brings out both the seriousness and playfulness in Huxley's character. His confident posture suggests a man who fearlessly rode against societal norms and championed scientific progress. As he sits astride what appears to be an aquatic creature symbolizing his fascination with marine life, it becomes evident that Huxley's passion extended beyond land-dwelling organisms. This wood engraving serves as a testament to not only Huxley's significant contributions but also the enduring impact of Darwinism on British society at large. It offers us a glimpse into the world of nineteenth-century England where ideas clashed and minds were challenged in pursuit of knowledge and understanding.
