Charles Darwin (1809-82) English naturalist. Cartoon, depicting Darwins head superimposed on an apes body, showing another ape its reflection in a mirror, a reaction to views put forward in The Descent of Man, his work on human evolution first published in 1871. 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. His famous book Origin of Species was published in 1859

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Charles Darwin, the renowned English naturalist, in 1874. In this intriguing image, Darwin's head is superimposed on an ape's body, symbolizing his groundbreaking work on human evolution. The cartoon depicts another ape gazing at its reflection in a mirror, representing the profound ideas presented in Darwin's influential book, "The Descent of Man" published in 1871. Charles Darwin (1809-1882) gained recognition as a geologist before making monumental contributions to biology. His revolutionary demonstration that evolution has occurred and his discovery of the principle of natural selection propelled him into scientific stardom. The publication of his famous book "Origin of Species" in 1859 solidified his status as one of history's most significant figures. In this portrait, we see a glimpse into Darwin's personality and occupation as a scientist. With his bald head and distinguished beard, he exudes wisdom and intellect. This colorful caricature reflects both humor and conceptuality while encapsulating the essence of Darwin's work. As an Englishman living during the 19th century, Charles Darwin played a pivotal role in shaping our understanding of biology and our place within nature. This print serves as a reminder not only of his remarkable achievements but also highlights the ongoing relevance and impact of evolutionary theory today.
