EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Thomas Henry Huxley, a prominent British biologist from the late 19th century. Published posthumously in 1897, this portrait pays tribute to Huxley's unwavering support for Charles Darwin's groundbreaking theory of evolution. Known as "Darwin's bulldog". Huxley fearlessly championed Darwinism amidst controversy and opposition. With his distinguished sideburns and piercing gaze, Huxley exudes an air of intellect and determination. As one of the leading figures in Victorian science, he played a pivotal role in shaping the field of biology. Beyond his scientific contributions, it is worth noting that Huxley was also the grandfather of Julian and Aldous Huxley, two influential thinkers who left their own indelible marks on literature and philosophy. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this engraving, transporting us back to an era when scientific discoveries were reshaping our understanding of the world. This print serves as a testament to Huxley's enduring legacy as well as his significant impact on both his country and profession. From Great Thoughts from Master Minds (London, 1897), this image showcases not only a remarkable individual but also represents an important chapter in the history of evolutionary biology. Preserved by Heritage Images with utmost care and attention to detail, this print allows us to appreciate Thomas Henry Huxley's invaluable contributions to science while serving as a reminder that knowledge knows no boundaries or
