Description
Illustrated portraits of Richard Owen (20, July 1804- 18 December 1892) and Thomas Henry Huxley (4 May 1825 - 29 June 1895). Linley Sambourne's illustration for the new 1885 Macmillan edition of Kingsley's 1862/3 'The Water-babies, a fairy Tale for a Land Baby'. The picture features the rivals Owen and Huxley studying a captured Water-baby. Owen was a comparative anatomist and palaeontologist who became one of the most famous and politically influential biologists of the Victorian era. Huxley, an anatomist, famously became 'Darwin's Bulldog' for advocating evolution by natural selection. Huxley and Owen's mutual antagonism came to a head in an argument about the human versus ape brain and an exchange during the 'Oxford debate' of 1860. 1884 was the year Owen accepted a Knighthood, but neither Huxley or Darwin ever received the same honour.
