Alfred Russel Wallace, British naturalist C013 / 6595
Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913), British naturalist. Wallace organised expeditions to the Amazon and Malaysia and was the first European to see orang-utans in the wild. Wallace collected many specimens and founded the study of the geographical distribution of animals (biogeography). He formulated (independent of Charles Darwin) the theory of natural selection as a mechanism for the origin of species. He and Darwin presented their results in a joint paper in 1858 before the Linnean Society

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Alfred Russel Wallace, a renowned British naturalist whose contributions to the field of biology were groundbreaking. Born in 1823, Wallace dedicated his life to exploring and studying the wonders of nature. His expeditions to the Amazon and Malaysia allowed him to make remarkable discoveries, including being the first European to encounter orangutans in their natural habitat. Wallace's passion for collecting specimens led him to establish the study of biogeography, focusing on understanding the geographical distribution of animals. Notably, he independently formulated the theory of natural selection as a mechanism for species' origin before Charles Darwin did. In 1858, both Wallace and Darwin presented their findings together in a joint paper at the Linnean Society. With his distinguished beard and wise countenance captured in sepia tones, this portrait immortalizes Wallace as an influential figure in scientific history. As an explorer and scientist, he made significant contributions not only as a botanist but also as a zoologist and biologist. The Natural History Museum in London proudly presents this print from its collection by Science Photo Library. It serves as a reminder of Wallace's invaluable role in shaping our understanding of evolution through his pioneering work on natural selection and survival of the fittest.
