EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures Vice Admiral Robert Fitzroy, a prominent naval officer and meteorologist of the 19th century. In this image, he is depicted alongside Charles Darwin during their expedition to South America from 1834-36. The photograph was taken by Samuel Lane, an English artist known for his detailed portraits. Admiral Fitzroy played a significant role in the exploration and surveying of the coasts of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego between 1828-30. His expertise in meteorology led him to invent the Fitzroy barometer, which became widely used for weather forecasting at sea. Beyond his scientific achievements, Fitzroy's career also saw him serve as Governor of New Zealand from 1843-45. This position showcased his leadership skills and dedication to public service. The print offers a glimpse into history, capturing two influential figures who made lasting contributions to science and exploration. It serves as a reminder of their groundbreaking work and the impact they had on our understanding of the natural world. This image can be found in the collection at Royal Naval College in Greenwich, London. Its availability through Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its artistic value captured by Samuel Lane's skilled hand.
