Alfred Russel Wallace, British naturalist C016 / 5259
Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913), British naturalist, in middle age. Wallace organised expeditions to the Amazon and Malaysia and was the first European to see orang-utans in the wild. Wallace collected many specimens and founded the study of the geographical distribution of animals (biogeography). He formulated (independently of Charles Darwin) the theory of natural selection as a mechanism for the origin of species. He and Darwin presented their results in a joint paper in 1858 before the Linnean Society of London. Photographed by Florence Chant, based in Parkstone, Dorset

EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the essence of Alfred Russel Wallace, a renowned British naturalist whose contributions to the field of biology are immeasurable. In this photo print, taken by Florence Chant in Parkstone, Dorset, we see Wallace seated at his desk, engrossed in writing. His profile reveals a man of intellect and determination. Wallace's accomplishments were vast; he organized expeditions to both the Amazon and Malaysia, where he became the first European to witness orangutans in their natural habitat. Collecting numerous specimens along his journeys, Wallace laid the foundation for the study of biogeography - examining how animals are distributed across different geographical regions. Perhaps most notably, Wallace independently formulated the theory of natural selection as a mechanism for species' origins - an idea that paralleled Charles Darwin's own discoveries. Together with Darwin, they presented their groundbreaking findings before the Linnean Society of London in 1858. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of Wallace's significant role in shaping our understanding of evolution and biological diversity. It showcases him as not just a scientist but also an explorer and writer who dedicated his life to unraveling nature's mysteries. Preserved by the Natural History Museum in London and made available through Science Photo Library, this image stands as a testament to one man's immense impact on our knowledge of life on Earth.
