Throughout his career Gray travelled frequently to Europe to examine plant specimens. In 1851 he met Charles Darwin, who became a regular correspondent.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Asa Gray, a prominent American botanist who left an indelible mark on the world of science. Born in 1810, Gray initially pursued a career in medicine, earning his M. D. degree in 1831. However, it was his unwavering passion for botany that truly ignited his intellectual curiosity. In 1842, Gray's expertise and dedication to the field led him to be appointed as Professor of Natural History at Harvard University in the United States. Throughout his illustrious career, he embarked on numerous expeditions to Europe to meticulously examine plant specimens, further expanding his knowledge and understanding of botanical diversity. It was during one such expedition in 1851 that Gray had a fateful encounter with Charles Darwin - a meeting that would shape both their lives forever. This fortuitous meeting sparked a deep friendship and intellectual exchange between the two renowned scientists; they became regular correspondents discussing their groundbreaking theories. Following Darwin's publication of "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection" in 1859, Asa Gray emerged as America's leading advocate for natural selection theory. His contributions solidified him as one of history's most influential biologists and naturalists. This remarkable illustration captures not only the essence of Asa Gray but also serves as a testament to his significant role within scientific circles during the 19th century. It is an artful homage to this brilliant man whose surname begins with 'G' but whose
