Asleep Bennett Catch Catches Darwin Desk Evolution Generation Off Ice Origin Pigeon Pile Pusher Satire Species Weasel 1860s

EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph print, titled "Origin Species: CH Bennett, Office Man - Weasel," offers a satirical take on Charles Darwin's groundbreaking theory of evolution, "On the Origin of Species," published in 1859. In this imaginative depiction, we witness the evolution of an office worker, CH Bennett, from a weasel, as he sits asleep at his cluttered desk. The scene is set in the 1860s, with Bennett's office adorned with the trappings of the era: a large, ornate desk, piles of paperwork, and a quill pen. However, as we delve deeper into this whimsical tableau, we notice that Bennett has begun to take on the form of a weasel. His features have become more pointed and agile, his posture more hunched, and his eyes glint with the cunning of his weasel ancestors. As Bennett dozes off, a pigeon enters the frame, perched on a stack of papers. Seizing the opportunity, the weasel-man leaps from his chair and catches the unsuspecting bird in mid-air. With a triumphant grin, he returns to his desk, ready to add the pigeon to his ever-growing pile of paperwork. This satirical image playfully subverts the traditional understanding of evolution, suggesting that even the most mundane and seemingly unchanging aspects of life can undergo dramatic transformations. The photograph print, available through Mary Evans Prints Online, is a delightful and thought-provoking addition to any collection, offering a fresh perspective on the historical significance of Darwin's work.
