Stipple engraving of Charles Darwin as an old man

Charles Robert Darwin (1809-1882) English naturalist and author of the Origin of Species. He suggested that natural variation in a species creates a wide range of individual characteristics some of which are more useful than others. The competition to survive in nature provides a driving force for evolution in the form of natural selection, a mechanism which weeds out those individuals possessing traits less suitable to the enviroment. The implications of his theory to mans own origins fuelled a bitter controversy with the church. Stipple engraving by C.H. Jeens from a photograph by O.G. Rejlander, about 1874

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stipple engraving showcases Charles Darwin in his later years, capturing the essence of a man who revolutionized our understanding of the natural world. Charles Robert Darwin, an eminent English naturalist and author of the groundbreaking book "Origin of Species" is depicted here as a wise old man with profound insights etched on his face. Darwin's theory of evolution transformed biology forever by proposing that variations within species lead to diverse individual characteristics, some more advantageous than others. He introduced the concept of natural selection, where competition for survival drives evolutionary change by favoring those individuals with traits best suited to their environment. This revolutionary idea sparked intense controversy with religious institutions due to its implications for humanity's own origins. The artist behind this exquisite stipple engraving, C. H. Jeens, skillfully captures Darwin's wisdom and intellectual depth from a photograph taken by O. G. Rejlander around 1874. The intricate technique used in this print brings out every detail and texture, allowing us to appreciate both the physical likeness and the immense contributions made by this brilliant scientist. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait, we are reminded not only of Darwin's significant role as a botanist, biologist, zoologist but also his enduring legacy as one of history's greatest scientific minds. His theory remains at the core of evolutionary biology today and continues to inspire generations in their pursuit of knowledge about life on Earth.
