Charles Waterton, esq., 1844. Portrait of British conservationist, naturalist and explorer Charles Waterton, who described himself thus: 'On looking at myself in the glass, I can see at once that my face is anything but comely: continued exposure to the sun, and to the rains of the tropics, has furrowed it in places...My hair, which I wear very short, was once of a shade betwixt brown and black; it has now the appearance as if it had passed the night exposed to a November hoar frost. I cannot boast of any great strength of arm, but my legs - probably by much walking and by frequently ascending trees - have acquired vast muscular power...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V.
