Description

Fuegians Going to trade in Xapallos with the Patagonians. Copper engraving by Robert Fitzroy, engraved by Thomas Landseer in 1838, published Henry Colburn in the "Narrative of the Surveying Voyages of HMS Adventure and Beagle", Volume II, 1839. Fitzroy's own agenda on the Voyage of the Beagle with Darwin was to return some native Fuegians he had taken on a previous voyage and tried to "civilize" in Britain. Darwin shared the ship with them on the outward journey. Nothing quite prepared him for the Fuegians in a "state of nature" however. Over thirty years later he wrote in the "Descent of Man" "the astonishment which I felt on first seeing a party of Fuegians on a wild and broken shore will never be forgotten by me, for the reflection at once rushed to my mind -- such were our ancestors."
