EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1838, showcasing Darwin's alma mater, Christ College Cambridge. The intricate copper engraving by Le Keux beautifully captures the essence of this prestigious university, with its grand architecture and serene surroundings. Hand-coloured with meticulous detail by I. A. Bell, the artwork brings to life the vibrant atmosphere that Charles Darwin once experienced during his time as a theology student from 1828-1831. For Darwin, this period at Christ College was transformative in every sense. While initially pursuing theological studies, his interests gradually shifted towards natural history. It was through his close friend and tutor John Stevens Henslow that he found himself embarking on an extraordinary journey aboard Captain Fitzroy's Beagle Voyage as a gentleman's companion. This remarkable illustration not only showcases the physical beauty of Christ College but also serves as a visual representation of Darwin's intellectual evolution. It symbolizes how his time at Cambridge laid the foundation for his groundbreaking theories on evolution and ultimately led to the publication of "On the Origin of Species". As we gaze upon this historical artwork by Paul D. Stewart from Science Photo Library, we are reminded of Darwin's profound impact on our understanding of human existence and our place in nature.
