Origin Species, CH Bennett, man on holiday - cock
Cock-a-doodle-do. Satire on Darwins Origin of Species showing the evolution of man on holiday from a cock. His nose is a beak, his beard once a cox comb, his coat-tails only just moulted their feathers. He seems to annoy every one he encounters. Windy as a pair of bellows, drunk on soda, noisy as a bell, legs like scissors. Poor fellow should have stayed at home

EDITORS COMMENTS
This whimsical print, titled "Origin Species: CH Bennett, Man on Holiday - Cock-a-doodle-do," offers a satirical take on Charles Darwin's groundbreaking theory of evolution, "On the Origin of Species," published in 1859. In this playful depiction, man is shown evolving from a rooster, complete with a beak for a nose and a coxcomb for a beard. The man's coat-tails are only just shed of their feathers, and his disheveled appearance suggests he is on holiday. The man's behavior seems to annoy everyone around him. He is described as windy as a pair of bellows, implying an uncontrollable gust of air, possibly representing the unpredictability of evolution. He is also depicted as drunk on soda, adding an element of carelessness and mischief to his character. The man's noisy demeanor is compared to that of a bell, and his legs are likened to scissors, perhaps symbolizing the idea of adaptation and change. Despite his chaotic and annoying nature, the man in this print appears to be enjoying his holiday, perhaps suggesting that even the most unusual and seemingly inconvenient aspects of life can be embraced and appreciated. The print, created in the 1860s, offers a lighthearted and humorous take on the scientific theories of the time, inviting viewers to consider the absurdity and wonder of the natural world.
