EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating piece of history - a letter from Thomas Henry Huxley to Charles Darwin, accompanied by a sketch of Darwin depicted as a bishop or saint. Dated July 20th, 1868, this pen and ink correspondence sheds light on the relationship between these two influential figures. In the letter, Huxley requests Darwin's willingness to meet Wilhelm Friedrich Kuhne, a German physiologist. Huxley humorously describes Kuhne's desire to pay his devotions at the Shrine of Dr. Darwin but warns that while Darwin is always kind to worshippers like a great Saint, he may not always be in the condition to be worshipped himself. The sketch accompanying the letter portrays Darwin with an air of reverence and authority as a bishop or saintly figure. It adds an intriguing visual element to this historical artifact and offers insight into how Huxley perceived his esteemed colleague. This private collection print invites us into the world of scientific collaboration and admiration during this time period. It reminds us that even revered individuals like Charles Darwin had their own unique quirks and limitations. Overall, this print serves as both an artistic representation and historical document capturing an interesting moment in the lives of two prominent scientists - one seeking permission for another scientist's pilgrimage to "the Shrine" while playfully acknowledging both worshipful devotion and human fallibility.
