As a 25 year old and probable descendant of one F.D. Dyster. This project speaks to all of my wild thought processes that never seemed wild in my grandparents house in Niagara Falls, NY and probably wasn't in a house in Tenby, Wales either.

The below was taken from darwin-online.org.uk

A Darwin Manuscript at Christ's College

For over seventy years a smartly framed photograph of Charles Darwin (1809-1882) hung on the end of a book case in the Old Library. Also inside the frame, just below the photograph, a small rectangular opening in the mount displayed the signature 'Ch. Darwin'. During recent visits to the Old Library I was curious to know if this signature was just a scrap of paper cut from a letter, or if it was written on a document still preserved, though sealed inside the 35.5 x 40 cm frame. The frame itself is stamped as manufactured by a Cambridge cabinet maker.

The photograph, and the frame, have their own story. A pencilled note on the wooden back of the frame explains:

This photograph of Darwin was presented by him to my Uncle, F.D. Dyster, of Tenby. I am informed by Francis Darwin, his son, that the photograph was probably taken in the year 1854, but he had never seen it. F. H. H. Guillemard.

Below this, in a different and very faint hand is written in pencil:

NB F.D. Dyster was the microscopist after whom the genus Dysteria was named.

A third pencil note in yet a different hand records:

Exhibited at the Darwin Commemoration in Christ's College – June 1909.

Finally a typewritten slip pasted on the board states:

CHARLES DARWIN (probably 1854, aged 45). Given by him to Dr. F.D. Dyster, and bequeathed to the College by Dr. Dyster's nephew, Dr. F.H.H. Guillemard, 1934.
