EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Origin Species: CH Bennett, Banker - Vulture," offers a satirical take on the evolutionary theory proposed by Charles Darwin in his seminal work, "On the Origin of Species," published in 1859. In this whimsical reimagining, the vulture, a bird known for its distinctive bald head and powerful beak, undergoes an extraordinary transformation into a dapper 1860s banker. Gone are the vulture's once-feathery covering, replaced instead by a sleek broadcloth suit. The vulture's beak, once an essential tool for ripping apart the flesh of its prey, has been traded in for a stylish top hat and a modern chequebook. The fireplace in the background, adorned with the trappings of wealth and success, further underscores the bird's newfound status. The vulture's evolution from scavenger to banker is a clever commentary on the historical context of the time, as well as a reflection on the nature of power and the allure of wealth. In this satirical take, the vulture no longer needs to seek out its prey; instead, the prey come to him, symbolizing the banker's ability to control the financial fortunes of others. This intriguing print, with its rich historical detail and witty commentary, is a must-have for anyone interested in the intersection of science, history, and satire. With its striking imagery and thought-provoking themes, it is sure to be a conversation starter and a source of delight for years to come.
