Young Darwin’s watercolor on the HMS Beagle

A young Darwin made the HMS Beagle famous during one of his naturalistic trips. Now, the auction house Sotheby’s shows a drawing made ​​by one of the crew members that shows a daily scene of that expedition.

The recently identified watercolor represents the chaotic scenes of the expedition and how Darwin’s crewmates complain about the mess on deck. It may simply be a joke by the crew, but it is a very valuable document to better understand young Darwin’s journey.
