Herbert Spencer at The National Portrait Gallery, London

This bust depicts Herbert Spencer (1820-1903) who was a philosopher; he formed the system of philosophy based on the doctrine of evolution. He wrote 'First Principles' in 1862, and 'The Principles of Biology' in 1864. He was a member of 'x' club with Huxley and Tyndall and also published on psychology, education, sociology and ethics. He argued for freedom of the individual and limitation of the state. The marble bust, completed in 1884, was created by Sir Joseph Edgar Boehm (1834-90) and was bequeathed to the National Portrait Gallery in 1904 by the sitter. This object is part of Scan The World.
