Portrait of Charles Darwin, British naturalist
Charles Darwin. Engraving of Charles Robert Darwin (1809-1882), British naturalist, in old age. Darwin studied medicine and theology, but his real interest was in natural history. In 1831, he joined the HMS Beagle as a naturalist on a five- year voyage around the world. This provided the data for his revolutionary book, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection (1859). In this work, he suggested that natural variation in a species creates a variety of individual traits, some more useful than others. Competition to survive causes favourable traits to survive and so a species evolves. His ideas were opposed by the Church, but have now largely been accepted

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Charles Darwin, the renowned British naturalist whose groundbreaking work revolutionized our understanding of life on Earth. Engraved in his old age, this portrait showcases a man who dedicated his life to unraveling the mysteries of nature. Born in 1809, Darwin's insatiable curiosity led him down various paths before he found his true passion in natural history. His pivotal moment came when he embarked on a five-year voyage around the world aboard HMS Beagle as its resident naturalist. This extraordinary journey provided him with invaluable data that would shape his revolutionary book, "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection" published in 1859. Darwin's theory proposed that within a species, variations occur naturally and some traits prove more advantageous for survival than others. Through competition for resources and adaptation to changing environments, these favorable traits are passed on from one generation to another, leading to the evolution of species over time. Although met with opposition from religious institutions at first, Darwin's ideas have now become widely accepted within scientific communities worldwide. His contributions as a botanist, biologist, zoologist and discoverer continue to inspire generations of scientists studying evolutionary biology today. This remarkable print serves as a testament to Charles Darwin's enduring legacy and reminds us of how one person's relentless pursuit of knowledge can reshape our understanding of the world we inhabit.
