Henry Walter Bates (1825-1892) English traveller and naturalist
Henry Walter Bates (1825-1892) English traveller and naturalist. Together with Alfred Russell Wallace, Bates set out to explore the Amazon in 1848. When Bates returned to England in 1859, he brought back 14, 000 specimens, mostly insects, of which more than half were new to science. Here he is seen, with native help, capturing an alligator on the River Amazon. Bates is standing on the river bank, dressed in rather outlandish checked shirt and trousers and wielding a large wooden club. Other natives are shown offering Bates specimens of turtles

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we catch a glimpse of Henry Walter Bates, the renowned English traveller and naturalist. Alongside his partner Alfred Russell Wallace, Bates embarked on an extraordinary expedition to explore the vast Amazon in 1848. This particular snapshot captures a remarkable moment as Bates and native helpers attempt to capture an alligator on the River Amazon. Standing confidently on the river bank, Bates is dressed in a rather eccentric checked shirt and trousers, wielding a large wooden club with determination. The scene is bustling with activity as other natives present him with specimens of turtles, showcasing their invaluable assistance in his scientific endeavors. Bates' return to England in 1859 marked a significant milestone for natural history enthusiasts worldwide. He brought back an astonishing collection of 14,000 specimens from his journey through the Amazonian wilderness – more than half of which were previously unknown to science. This image not only highlights Bates' adventurous spirit but also sheds light on the challenges faced by explorers during that era. It offers us a fascinating glimpse into the world of exploration and discovery in the late 19th century – where individuals like Henry Walter Bates dedicated their lives to unraveling nature's mysteries across distant lands.
