Fine Art Prints From Science Photo Library
1836 Charles Darwins House Cambridge
When Charles Darwin returned from his Beagle voyage he came to live in this house at 22 Fitzwilliam Street in Cambridge. He occupied it from the 16th December 1836 to March 1837. He aimed to get away from the social pressures of family in Shrewsbury and the scientific pressures of new contacts in London. He could visit old friends and scientific contacts like Henslow and Sedgewick. He employed Syms Covington (his aid on the Beagle) as a gentlemans manservant and set about organising his thoughts and specimens from the Beagle voyages, often covering all available surfaces with careful piles of notes and letters. Darwin started composing his Beagle voyage volume " Journals and Remarks" 1839 here, (later to become his famous " Journal of Researches" ). At the end of the street lay the grand Fitzwilliam Museum that in 2009 hoisted a huge banner of Darwin for its " Endless Forms" exhibition

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic house where Charles Darwin resided upon his return from the renowned Beagle voyage. Located at 22 Fitzwilliam Street in Cambridge, this humble abode provided Darwin with a sanctuary away from familial and scientific pressures. Seeking solace from social expectations in Shrewsbury and the demands of new contacts in London, he sought refuge among old friends and scientific acquaintances such as Henslow and Sedgewick. To assist him in his endeavors, Darwin employed Syms Covington, who had served as his aide during the Beagle expedition, as a gentleman's manservant. Within these walls, Darwin meticulously organized his thoughts and specimens collected during the voyage. Every available surface was adorned with carefully arranged piles of notes and letters. It was within these very rooms that Darwin commenced composing what would later become his famous "Journal of Researches" initially titled "Journals and Remarks" when first penned here in 1839. This publication would forever shape our understanding of evolution. At the end of Fitzwilliam Street stood the grand Fitzwilliam Museum which paid homage to Darwin by displaying a colossal banner featuring him for its esteemed "Endless Forms" exhibition back in 2009. This remarkable photograph by Paul D. Stewart transports us back to an era when one man's curiosity reshaped our perception of life on Earth through meticulous observation and groundbreaking theories.
