Lithograph of Charles Darwin aged 40
Lithograph of Charles Robert Darwin (1809-1882), the English naturalist and author of the Origin of Species, aged forty. He suggested that natural variation in a species creates a wide range of individual characteristics, some of which are more useful than others. The competition to survive in nature provides a driving force for evolution in the form of natural selection, a mechanism which weeds out those individuals possessing traits less suitable to the enviroment. The implications of his theory to mans own origins fuelled a bitter controversy with the christian orthodoxy. Lithograph by Thomas Herbert Maguire

EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures Charles Darwin at the age of forty, a pivotal time in his life when he was already renowned as an English naturalist and author. Known for his groundbreaking work on the theory of evolution, Darwin believed that natural variation within species leads to a wide range of individual characteristics, some more advantageous than others. In this print, we see a thoughtful and contemplative Darwin, whose ideas revolutionized our understanding of the natural world. His seminal book "On the Origin of Species" introduced the concept of natural selection - where competition for survival drives evolutionary change by favoring individuals with traits better suited to their environment. However, these revolutionary ideas also ignited fierce controversy with Christian orthodoxy due to their implications about human origins. Despite facing opposition from religious circles, Darwin's theories laid the foundation for modern evolutionary biology and continue to shape scientific thought today. The artist behind this remarkable lithograph is Thomas Herbert Maguire. Through his skillful rendering, Maguire has captured not only Darwin's likeness but also his intellectual depth and passion for unraveling nature's mysteries. This print from Science Photo Library serves as a powerful reminder of Charles Robert Darwin's immense contributions to science as well as the enduring impact his theories have had on our understanding of life itself.
