EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a colour lithograph titled "Men of the Day no, 1871" by Leslie Matthew Ward, also known as Spy. This particular piece is number 33 in the series and features a portrait of Charles Darwin, aptly named "Natural Selection". The image showcases an elder man with a distinguished appearance, sporting a full beard and mustache. His posture leans forward, conveying his scientific curiosity and engagement with the world around him. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate depiction of Darwin's facial expression – a close-up that reveals a cheerful smile and aversion towards something unseen. The lithograph highlights various elements such as Darwin's clothing – a jacket that complements his dignified persona – while folded arms suggest confidence and authority. Ward masterfully combines caricature with portraiture in this satirical representation of one of history's most influential naturalists. The use of vibrant colours adds depth to the illustration, enhancing its visual appeal. This print provides viewers with an intimate glimpse into the late nineteenth century through artistry and historical context. It serves as both an homage to Charles Darwin's groundbreaking contributions to science and as a testament to Leslie Matthew Ward's talent as an illustrator and satirist.
