EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Reverend William Whewell, a prominent figure in 19th-century Cambridge. The lithographed sketch, skillfully created by E. U. Fiddis in 1835 and printed by Sirel, brings to life the imposing presence of this polymath and leading light of his time. Whewell's influence extended across various disciplines, making him an integral part of Cambridge's intellectual landscape during Charles Darwin's tenure there. In his autobiography, Darwin fondly recalled walking home with Whewell from Professor Henslow's study on numerous occasions. However, it is said that Whewell was an intimidating figure to the undergraduates he encountered. Renowned for his groundbreaking work titled "Philosophy of the Inductive Sciences". Whewell significantly impacted scientific methodology. He even coined words such as "scientist" "cathode" and "anode". Despite his vast contributions to knowledge, Whewell staunchly opposed Darwin's theory of evolution. In fact, upon receiving a complimentary copy of Darwin's seminal work in January 1860, he politely expressed his dissenting views. Beyond science and philosophy, Whewell delved into mineralogy and reasoning while actively engaging with British society at large. His publication "Indications of the Creator" aimed to counteract what he perceived as harmful effects caused by Robert Chambers' popular book "Vestiges of Creation". Paul D. Stewart masterfully presents this artful depiction through meticulous attention to detail in collaboration with Science Photo Library. This remarkable piece invites us to delve into history and reflect on the complex interplay between scientific progress and personal beliefs within one extraordinary individual - Reverend William Whewell.
