Edward Whymper Author & Illustrator
Edward Whymper was born into a family of engravers in Lambeth, South London, and soon became a celebrity engraver, illustrating Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species and Heinrich Schliemann’s books on Troy and Mycenae. After ascending the Matterhorn, he travelled the world and explored Greenland and the Andes, while dreaming of conquering the Himalayas and Mount Kilimanjaro.
Theresa May was Britain’s Prime Minister and MP of Maidenhead from 1997 to 2024 and is an author. She shares her passion for the Alps with Edward Whymper and he was one of her choices for a dream dinner party.
