EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the distinguished figure of Professor Thomas Henry Huxley, taken in 1880 by Lock & Whitfield. A man of many accomplishments, Huxley's career spanned various fields including medicine, science, and education. In his early years as an assistant surgeon aboard HMS Rattlesnake in the mid-19th century, Huxley explored the coasts of Australia. Later on, he became a renowned authority in fossil studies with a particular focus on fishes and reptiles. As a supporter of Darwinism, he found himself at odds with Richard Owen. Huxley's groundbreaking work "Man's Place in Nature" published in 1863, sparked great interest across Europe and America. It was within this influential piece that he coined the term "agnostic" to describe his religious beliefs. The portrait showcases Huxley's Victorian-era style with his distinctive sideburns and serious expression. The monochrome aesthetic adds to its timeless appeal. This print is part of "Men of Mark: a gallery of contemporary portraits" which featured notable figures from various fields such as politics, literature, art, and science. Captured by Lock & Whitfield with biographical notices provided by Thompson Cooper between 1876-1883. Overall, this image immortalizes Professor Thomas Henry Huxley—a man who left an indelible mark on scientific thought during the 19th century through his contributions to natural history and support for Charles Darwin's theories.
