EVOLUTION CARTOON, 1861.
The Lion of the Season. An 1861 English satire by John Leech, but probably inspired less by Darwinism than by the publication of Explorations and Adventures in Equatorial Africa, the book by Paul du Chaillu that was the literary sensation of London, England, for its account of the gorilla

EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "EVOLUTION CARTOON, 1861. The Lion of the Season" is a remarkable English satire by John Leech. Created in 1861, this cartoon reflects the prevailing sentiments of the time, although it may have been more influenced by Paul du Chaillu's book on explorations and adventures in Equatorial Africa rather than Darwinism itself. In this thought-provoking artwork, Leech skillfully portrays a scene that challenges conventional beliefs about evolution. The central figure is an ape dressed impeccably in a stylish suit and bow tie, symbolizing humanity's supposed primitive origins. Standing beside him is a distinguished gentleman representing Charles Darwin himself, whose groundbreaking theories were causing quite a stir during that era. This satirical piece cleverly combines elements of politics and science to convey its message. It subtly suggests that society should not be too quick to embrace new ideas without thorough examination or consideration for their implications. By incorporating characters like Paul du Chaillu as guests at this gathering, Leech highlights how influential literary sensations can shape public opinion. Through his masterful use of humor and wit, John Leech invites viewers to ponder the complexities surrounding evolutionary theory while also questioning the impact of popular literature on societal attitudes. This intriguing photograph print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation of intellectual discourse during one of England's most transformative periods.
