EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking CDV (carte-de-visite) photograph, the Reverend Samuel Wilberforce, Bishop of Oxford and Winchester, is depicted in a thoughtful and introspective pose. Taken in 1873, the image captures Wilberforce in the prime of his later years, with a distinguished white beard and a serious expression. He is dressed in full episcopal regalia, including a long robe and a tall, pointed hat adorned with a cross. Wilberforce was a prominent figure in 19th century British society, known for his eloquence and his opposition to Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection. The debate between Wilberforce and Thomas Huxley, known as the "Battle of the Bishops," took place at the British Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in 1860, and became a major media event. Wilberforce argued against the acceptance of Darwin's theory on religious and moral grounds, while Huxley defended it as a scientific explanation for the diversity of life on Earth. Despite his opposition to Darwin's theory, Wilberforce was not an opponent of science itself. He was a prolific writer and a passionate advocate for the advancement of knowledge. He served as the Bishop of Oxford from 1845 to 1860 and as the Bishop of Winchester from 1860 until his death in 1873. This photograph, taken just a few years before his death, captures a moment of quiet reflection from a man who played a significant role in shaping the intellectual and religious landscape of his time. The photograph was taken by Caldes, a well-known photographer based in Winchester, England. The image is a testament to the power of photography to capture historical moments and preserve them for future generations. It invites us to reflect on the complexities of the past and the ongoing debates about science, religion, and the nature of the natural world.
