Thomas Huxley, English biologist
Thomas Henry Huxley (1825-1895), English biologist. Huxley was a strong advocate of Darwins theory of evolution by natural selection. He was often its main supporter in scientific debates, as Darwin shunned publicity. In 1860 Huxley presented Darwins theory at a meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science at Oxford, where he faced an ardent opponent, Bishop Samuel Wilberfoce. Huxley won the day by confirming that humans were primates. He turned the evolution debate into one of science rather than emotion. Huxley invented the word agnostic as a means of expressing his religious beliefs

Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned Thomas Huxley, an influential English biologist of the 19th century. Huxley played a pivotal role in advocating for Charles Darwin's groundbreaking theory of evolution by natural selection. In an era when scientific debates were often fueled by emotion rather than reason, Huxley fearlessly championed Darwin's ideas. The image captures a momentous event in 1860 when Huxley presented Darwin's theory at a prestigious meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science at Oxford. Here, he faced off against Bishop Samuel Wilberforce, a fervent opponent of evolution. With his profound knowledge and eloquence, Huxley emerged victorious by confirming that humans are indeed primates. Huxley's contribution to evolutionary biology extended beyond this historic debate. He coined the term "agnostic" to express his religious beliefs and became known as "Darwin's Bulldog" for his unwavering support of Darwinism. This illustration not only pays homage to Huxley but also serves as a reminder that science should prevail over emotional biases. As we delve into this remarkable portrait, we are transported back in time to witness the intellectual prowess and determination that shaped our understanding of life on Earth. It is through individuals like Thomas Henry Huxley that progress is made possible – forever leaving their mark on history and inspiring future generations in their pursuit of knowledge.
