Description
Restored and enhanced (by us) photo clip from a Woodburytype carte de visite photograph of Charles Darwin, published by John G. Murdoch. Although a slightly different pose, it bears similarity to an 1874 Elliott & Fry portrait.
Charles Robert Darwin FRS (12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist. He established that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestry, and proposed the scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process that he called natural selection.
He published his theory with compelling evidence for evolution in his 1859 book On the Origin of Species, overcoming scientific rejection of earlier concepts of transmutation of species.
