1849 John Stevens Henslow, Darwins tutor
1849 John Stevens Henslow (6 February 1796-16 May 1861), lithographic portrait from life by Thomas Herbert Maguire as part of the Friends of the Ipswich Museum scientific portrait series, commisioned by George Ransome. Henslow was vice-president of the museum and a bound portfolio copy of the portraits was presented by him to H.R.H. Prince Albert when he inspected the museum in 1851. Henslow, a popular Professor of Botany at Cambridge University, became tutor to Charles Darwin during his time in Cambridge. Darwin was very fond of him, and became known as " the man who follows Henslow". When Henslow and colleague Leonard Jenyns were offered a place on board the Beagle, both decided the role would suit a man with less commitments and suggested Darwin. Henslow helped Darwin in the UK throughout the voyage. Henslow retired many academic duties when he became Rector of Hitchin in 1837
