EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Thomas Henry Huxley, an eminent English biologist who left an indelible mark on the scientific community. Taken during his presidency of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, this image captures Huxley's unwavering dedication to championing evolution by natural selection. Aptly nicknamed "Darwin's bulldog" he fearlessly defended Charles Darwin's groundbreaking theory following the publication of "On the Origin of Species" in 1859. The engraving, sourced from The Illustrated London News on September 17th, 1870, not only highlights Huxley's influential role as a scientist but also sheds light on his contribution to language with his neologism - being the first to use and popularize the word "agnostic". This term would go on to shape philosophical and religious discourse for years to come. With its intricate details and historical significance, this print serves as a testament to Huxley's profound impact on both science and society. It offers viewers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in scientific history when evolutionary theories were met with skepticism yet pushed forward by brilliant minds like Huxley. A true visionary ahead of his time, Thomas Henry Huxley continues to inspire generations through his relentless pursuit of knowledge and unwavering commitment to advancing our understanding of life itself.
