EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the essence of Thomas Henry Huxley, a prominent English biologist from the late 19th century. Created by Cassell, Petter & Galpin, this print showcases Huxley's distinguished features and Victorian charm. Huxley was famously known as "Darwin's bulldog" due to his unwavering support for Charles Darwin's groundbreaking theory of evolution. As a professor and scientist, he played a pivotal role in advancing the understanding of biology and shaping scientific discourse during his time. With his impressive sideburns and dignified demeanor, Huxley exudes intelligence and determination in this portrait. His contributions to the field of science were not only significant but also far-reaching. Interestingly, he was also the grandfather of Julian and Aldous Huxley, two notable figures who made their own mark on literature and philosophy. The lithograph is part of The Modern Portrait Gallery collection published by Cassell, Petter & Galpin in London, Paris, and New York around 1890. It serves as a testament to Huxley's enduring legacy within British society as well as his lasting impact on our understanding of evolution. This remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into an era filled with controversy surrounding Darwinism while celebrating the achievements of one man who fearlessly championed scientific progress.
