EDITORS COMMENTS
In 1885, a momentous occasion took place at the Natural History Museum in South Kensington, London - the unveiling of a stunning white marble statue of the late Charles Darwin. Sculpted by Mr. Boehm, R.A., this masterpiece was placed on a pedestal at the top of a grand flight of steps facing the entrance hall.
The ceremony was attended by esteemed guests such as the Prince of Wales and Professor Huxley, president of the Royal Society, who both delivered moving speeches in honor of Darwin's groundbreaking contributions to science. A large gathering of literary and scientific figures also gathered to pay their respects to one of history's most influential thinkers.
The likeness captured in this statue was deemed "exceedingly characteristic" by The Graphic magazine, further solidifying its importance as a tribute to Darwin's legacy. This photograph captures not just an unveiling ceremony but also a moment in time where art and science intersected to celebrate one man's profound impact on our understanding of the natural world.
As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded not only of Darwin's enduring influence but also of the power that statues hold in preserving and commemorating historical figures for generations to come.
