I'm so grateful that Charles #Darwin lived in an era of #photography so that we can see:

1. Charles on his beloved horse, Tommy.
2. Charles Darwin (age 33) and his eldest son William Erasmus Darwin, 1842.
This is the only known daguerreotype of Darwin, and was taken 3 yrs after the technique was invented.
3. An albumen print that sold in the Literary and Scientific Portrait Club of which Darwin wrote to Hooker: “for Heaven-sake oblige me & burn that now hanging up in your room. It makes me look atrociously wicked.”
4. Erasmus Alvey Darwin (his brother) and the sons of Charles Darwin, looking like they're about to drop the hottest album of 1870.
