Charles Darwin was born in 1809 and was one of the most influential scientific minds of his time due to his theories of evolution. Even during his lifetime Darwin’s influence went beyond the scientific community.


Despite this, it’s likely Darwin was not even aware photographs of him existed. It is believed he was photographed around 1854.
