EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1862, depicts the renowned naturalist and explorer Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913) in the company of his cherished friend, Frederick F. Geach. Wallace, a Welsh biologist and anthropologist, is famously known for his contributions to the theory of evolution by natural selection, which he developed independently of Charles Darwin. The image captures Wallace in his Victorian era attire, exuding a sense of intellectual curiosity and adventure. His companion, Geach, a mining engineer, was a man of practical knowledge and skills. The two men met in the Indonesian island of Timor in 1861, and their shared interests in natural history and exploration led to a deep friendship that lasted for the remainder of their lives. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the personal lives of these two remarkable figures of the nineteenth century. Wallace's groundbreaking work in biology and anthropology paved the way for our modern understanding of the natural world, while Geach's engineering expertise contributed to the advancement of industrial progress. Their friendship serves as a testament to the power of shared passions and the enduring bonds that can be formed through the pursuit of knowledge and discovery. This photograph, now available through Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the lives of two extraordinary individuals who left indelible marks on the scientific world during the Victorian era.
