Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Charles Darwin NPG x5938

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Elliott & Fry

Darwin sat for this portrait, taken the year before he died, on the veranda of his house in Downe. In his later years he spent much time in his garden conducting research into plant life and earthworms. By this point in his life his status as an eminent scientist was generally acknowledged and it was in this year that he dined by special invitation with the Prince of Wales at the start of the 7th International Medical Congress.
