EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the renowned German zoologist and evolutionist, Ernst Haeckel, during his expedition to the Canary Islands in 1867. Sitting casually with his assistant Miklucho-Maclay by his side, Haeckel exudes an air of scientific curiosity and partnership. Haeckel is widely known for his groundbreaking theory of recapitulation, famously stating that "Ontology recapitulates phylogeny". This theory suggests that an organism's development mirrors its evolutionary history. With this principle in mind, Haeckel embarked on numerous expeditions to study and document various species across the globe. In this studio shot, both men are captured standing confidently yet leaning slightly towards each other. Their young faces reflect their passion for biology and zoology as they hold a butterfly net together - a symbol of their shared pursuit of knowledge. The year 1867 marks a significant moment in Haeckel's career as he sought assistance from Maclay during this particular expedition. The duo's cooperation showcases the importance of collaboration in scientific exploration. Dressed in traditional German attire complete with hats and boots, these two young men embody not only their cultural heritage but also the spirit of discovery that defined nineteenth-century science. This photograph serves as a testament to their dedication to understanding the natural world through observation and documentation
