EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled "Origin Species: CH Bennett, Money Saver - Tortoise," is a delightful satire on Charles Darwin's groundbreaking work, "On the Origin of Species." In this imaginative reinterpretation, we witness the evolution of the Money Saver from a stout and industrious tortoise. The elderly gentleman in the foreground, with an umbrella in hand, embodies the very essence of patience and consciousness when it comes to the true value of money. As we delve deeper into the evolutionary line, we encounter a tortoise further down the line, before its "money-bag" period. The tortoise, with a determined expression, clutches a money bag that has seemingly come to life, spilling coins and notes like water through a sieve - a humorous commentary on the elusive nature of wealth. The date of this intriguing piece is estimated to be from the 1860s, making it a fascinating historical artifact that playfully explores the relationship between evolution, industry, and the human obsession with accumulating wealth. This charming print, by an unknown artist, offers a unique perspective on the origins of the Money Saver species and serves as a reminder that even the most valuable things in life, like money, can be as elusive and unpredictable as the natural world.
