Charles Darwin's book about his 5-year journey aboard the HMS beagle remains one of the great narratives of adventure and discovery of the age.

in 1836, Darwin returned to England with thousands of specimens of insects, birds, plants, minerals, fossils, spiders, fungi, and orchids - and profoundly changed scientific thought forever after.

Many of Darwin's specimens were stored and displayed in cabinets like this one.
