Charles Darwin, 19th century British naturalist, (20th century)

Charles Darwin, 19th century British naturalist, (20th century). Darwin (1809-1882) was employed as naturalist on HMS Beagle from 1831-1836. He first made his name as a geologist, but is remembered for his momentous contributions to biology - primarily his demonstration that evolution has occurred and his discovery of the principle of natural selection of heritable variation as the cause of evolution.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned 19th-century British naturalist, Charles Darwin. With a distinguished bald head, thick beard, and piercing gaze, Darwin's image exudes intellect and curiosity. Born in 1809 and passing away in 1882, he left an indelible mark on the scientific world. Darwin's groundbreaking contributions to biology revolutionized our understanding of life on Earth. While initially recognized as a geologist, it was his momentous discoveries in evolution that cemented his legacy. Through meticulous research during his time as a naturalist aboard HMS Beagle from 1831-1836, Darwin demonstrated that evolution had indeed occurred over time. His most famous work, "Origin of Species" published in 1859, presented the principle of natural selection as the driving force behind evolutionary processes. This seminal book challenged prevailing beliefs about creationism and sparked intense debates within scientific circles. In this portrait captured by The Print Collector around the turn of the 20th century (not to be confused with any commercial use), we witness a man who dedicated his life to unraveling nature's mysteries. His influence extends far beyond his native Britain; Darwin is revered worldwide for shaping modern biological thought. As we admire this monochrome engraving today, let us remember Charles Robert Darwin not only as an exceptional scientist but also as an emblematic figure who fearlessly pursued knowledge and forever altered our perception of life itself.
