Down House, Darwins home
Down House. Historical print of Down House (also known as Downe House) and part of its garden. It was the home of the British biologist, Charles Darwin. It is located at Down, near Farnborough, Kent, England. He purchased it in 1842 for #2000 and this was his home until his death in 1882. The property was " built of shabby bricks" and had a smallholding attached and easy access to a railway station. The rural setting was ideal for Darwin, as he was a modest man who shunned publicity. It was during his stay that Darwin wrote and published (amongst other books) On The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection (1859) and The Descent of Man (1871)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print showcases Down House, the beloved home of renowned British biologist Charles Darwin. Located in the serene countryside of Down, near Farnborough, Kent, England, this humble abode was purchased by Darwin in 1842 for a modest sum of £2000 and remained his sanctuary until his passing in 1882. The property itself exuded simplicity with its unassuming "shabby bricks" construction and included a smallholding as well as convenient access to a nearby railway station. This rural setting perfectly suited Darwin's personality as he preferred a quiet life away from the limelight. During his time at Down House, Darwin penned some of his most groundbreaking works that forever changed our understanding of biology and evolution. Notably, it was within these walls that he wrote and published masterpieces such as "On The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection" in 1859 and "The Descent of Man" in 1871. This enchanting illustration captures not only the physical beauty of Down House but also serves as a testament to the immense intellectual contributions made by Charles Darwin during his residency there. A true iconoclast who revolutionized scientific thought, Darwin's legacy continues to inspire generations worldwide.
