Door of the library in the Oxford museum

Many more people than expected came to the meeting. For this reason the library hall was used. Darwin's friend Hooker was present, but not Darwin himself. He was not strong enough for such a happening. He left the defence to his friends. Darwin was at home and waited for the report which Hooker was going to give him. This is the entrance door of the library behind which the famous debate took place. When we were there, the room was being reconstructed and we were not allowed to go in.
