Bennett Cage Crinoline Darwin Evolution Feline Maid Origin Poor Puss Satire Species Trap 1860s


EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph print, titled "Origin Species: CH Bennett, Cat - Old Maid," offers a whimsical take on Charles Darwin's groundbreaking theory of evolution, "On the Origin of Species." In this satirical image, a crinoline-wearing old maid is depicted, her voluminous skirt transforming from a simple footstool into a poor, hapless man. The man becomes trapped within the intricate cage of the old maid's crinoline, symbolizing the idea that despite her advanced attire and age, she will forever remain an old maid. The photograph, created in the 1860s, showcases the historical significance of both the Victorian era's fashion trends and the societal expectations of women during that time. The old maid, with her outdated clothing and unmarried status, is a stark contrast to the evolving man trapped within her skirt. The satirical element of the image adds an element of humor to the serious scientific theory, making it a unique and intriguing piece of historical art. The photograph is the work of CH Bennett, a renowned photographer of the era, and was published by Mary Evans Prints Online. The image is rights managed, meaning it is available for licensing for various uses, such as educational or editorial purposes, while protecting the intellectual property rights of the original creator. This photograph is a fascinating blend of history, satire, and evolution, offering a fresh perspective on the origins of species and the societal norms of the past.
