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.”
