1878178890London: Samson Low Marston Searle and Rivington 1878. Capturing the evolution of Darwin A prime example of Darwin's personal iconography as an elder statesman of science. This photograph is taken from Lock & Whitfield's Men of Mark series - a portrait gallery of prominent Victorian individuals - and refashioned for open display. By 1878 the 69-year-old's fame was widespread. Despite his increasing retirement at Down House many continued to seek him out including Gladstone in 1877. As his son Francis recalled "He did not realise that people would know him from his photograph and I remember him at the Crystal Palace aquarium saying in uneasy voice that somebody had been looking at him & he supposed he must have been recognized" Van Whye. Men of Mark was issued in monthly parts comprising three portrait plates and biographical notices for 1s 6d. Darwin appeared in part 36 in December 1878. This image was later used as the frontispiece to the third edition in French of the Descent of Man. Photographic portrait 114 x 92 mm after a Woodburytype original by Lock & Whitfield mounted within contemporary wood frame with glazing and metal oval border 210 x 132 mm. Minimal finger-soiling slight scuffing to frame: in very good condition. Van Whye The Complete Photographs of Darwin 1878a.1. unknown

1871191570New York: D. Appleton and Company 1871. Darwin's most controversial theory arrives in America First US edition later issue without errata. First published in the UK earlier that year it was in this work that the word "evolution" appears for the first time preceding its appearance in the sixth edition of the Origin of Species the following year. Darwin had hoped that one of his supporters might tackle the thorny question of human evolution but was forced to face the logic of his own theory himself. Darwin deviated from his ostensible subject of mankind to describe sexual selection in the animal kingdom enabling him to answer those who saw peacock tails as an expression of divine aesthetics. Darwin also set out a definite family tree for humans tracing their affinity with the Old World monkeys and laid out his views on the evolutionary origins of morality and religion. "The Descent understood by Darwin as a sequel to the Origin was written with a maturity and depth of learning that marked Darwin's status as an élite gentleman of science" ODNB. "In discussing man's ancestry Darwin did not claim that man was directly descended from apes as we know them today but stated simply that the extinct ancestors of Homo sapiens would have to be classified among the primates; however this statement as misinterpreted by the popular press caused a furore second only to that raised by the Origin" Norman. 2 vols octavo.

Charles Darwin's first published book now universally known as 'The Voyage of the Beagle' but not issued with that title until 1905 is as Richard Freeman notes in his bibliography of the author "undoubtedly the most often read and stands second only to 'On the Origin of Species' as the most often printed". Darwin's account of his travels aboard HMS Beagle between 1831 and 1836 has an appropriately circuitous bibliographical history. It was first issued as the third volume of three of 'The narrative of the voyages of H. M. Ships Adventure and Beagle' 1839 edited by Robert Fitzroy Captain of the Beagle; Darwin's volume simply titled 'Journal and remarks 1832-1836' was also reissued alone the same year. A second edition followed in 1845 as 'Journal or researches into the natural history and geology of the countries visited during the voyage of H. M. S. Beagle round the world .' but it is this 1860 edition described by Freeman as the "Final definitive text" that became the template for the countless editions that followed. Darwin provided new preliminaries and a postscript dated Feb. 1st 1860 outlining changes and corrections made to the text. The work itself a groundbreaking fusion of travel narrative and scientific fieldwork is as Freeman notes"an important travel book in its own right" as well as its significance "in relation to the background of Darwin's evolutionary ideas". The green cloth binding for the 1860 edition is notable for being identical to that of the first three editions of 'On the Origin of Species'. Freeman 20.

Freeman 939 p. 128-132 First edition second state. The first issue of The Descent of Man had a print-run of just 2500 copies. It was published in February 1871 closely followed in March 1871 by the second issue printing of a further 2000 copies. <br /><br /><em>The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex</em> is a book by English naturalist Charles Darwin first published in 1871 which applies revolutionary theory to human evolution and details his theory of sexual selection a form of biological adaptation distinct from yet interconnected with natural selection. The book discusses many related issues including evolutionary psychology. evolutionary ethics evolutionary musicology differences between human races differences between sexes the dominant role of women in mate choice and the relevance of the evolutionary theory to society. In January 1871 <br /><br />Thomas Huxley's former disciple the anatomist St. George Mivart had published <em>On the Genesis of Species</em> as a critique of natural selection. Anonymously in a <em>Quarterly Review</em> article he claimed that the <em>Descent of Man </em>would unsettle "our half educated classes" and talked of people doing as they pleased breaking laws and customs. An infuriated Darwin guessed that Mivart was the author and thinking "I shall soon be viewed as the most despicable of men" looked for an ally. In September Huxley wrote a cutting review of Mivart's book and article which a relieved Darwin told him "How you do smash Mivart's theology. He may write his worst & he will never mortify me again". As 1872 began Mivart politely inflamed the argument again writing "wishing you very sincerely a happy new year" while wanting a disclaimer of the "fundamental intellectual errors" in the <em>Descent of Man</em>. This time Darwin ended the correspondence. <br /><br /><strong>Condition: </strong>Spine ends rubbed edge wear stained and soiling to covers volume one lacking back end paper inner hinges cracked in both volumes but holding.

Fertilisation of Orchids was concerned with working out in detail the relationship between sexual structures of orchids and the insects which fertilise them their evolution being attributed to natural selection. It is therefore the first of the volumes of supporting evidence for Origin of Species. This is the only Murray Darwin between 1859 and 1910 not bound in green cloth. Life and Letters of Darwin Volume 3 page 274 quotes Asa Gray as saying 'if the Orchid-book with a few trifling omissions had appeared before the "Origin" the author would have been canonised rather the anathematised by the natural theologians' and notes that a review in the Literary Churchman found only one fault 'that Mr Darwin's expression of admiration at the contrivances in orchids is too indirect a way of saying' "O Lord how manifold are thy works"; Sotheby's catalogue Darwin's Century: The Jeremy Norman Collection page 53 No.127.

Robert Waring Darwin FRS was an English medical doctor who today is best known as the father of the naturalist Charles Darwin. He was a member of the influential DarwinWedgwood family. Robert Darwin provided the first empirical evidence that small eye movements are made even when people attempt to keep them fixed. This he found during his studies of the after images of colored stimuli in which he noticed that while a person tried to fixate a colored circle a lucid edge appeared on the adjacent white-paper background. He concluded "as by the unsteadiness of the eye a part of the fatigued retina falls on the white paper". Wikipedia.

The process produces continuous tone images in slight relief. A chromated gelatin film is exposed under a photographic negative which hardens in proportion to the amount of light. Then it is developed in hot water to remove all the unexposed gelatin and dried. This relief is pressed into a sheet of lead in a press with 5000 psi. This is an intaglio plate. It is used as a mold and is filled with pigmented gelatin. The gelatin layer is then pressed onto a paper support. It is thought to produce the finest photographic images. The Woodburytype was developed by Walter B. Woodbury in 1864 first used in a publication in 1866 and widely used for fine book illustration from about 1870 to 1900. unknown

This work presents Darwin's observations and scientific reflections made during the historic 1831-1836 voyage of the Beagle documenting his studies in geology zoology botany and ethnography across South America the Galápagos Islands and other regions--research that proved foundational for the later development of his theory of evolution by natural selection. Translated into Polish by Józef Nusbaum from the 1884 English edition this publication represents an important milestone in the reception of Darwinian thought in Poland and remains a key text in the history of nineteenth-century science and exploration.

189248692London: John Murray 1892. Very good plus. Sixth edition "forty-third thousand" overall - and the first to use the term "evolution" to describe the mechanism of natural selection that Darwin introduced in the book. "Evolution" - the word now most associated with THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES - was not used to describe natural selection in the publication until the sixth edition. By then Darwin was well aware that he had a phenomenon on his hands with the title - it was time to widen his audience. The 6th edition was purposefully set in smaller type slimming the book's profile and making it more affordable "I have been told on authority which I can trust that . workmen club together to buy the Origin" Darwin noted of previous editions in correspondence in 1871. It also contains a glossary for the first time making the text more accessible to a non-specialist audience. <br /> <br /> Appropriately this copy was once owned by James G. Mead whale biologist and longtime curator of marine mammals at the Smithsonian. Mead is a particular proponent of the anatomical study of marine mammals a method of examination that Darwin also favored; THE NEW YORK TIMES notes that Mead's use of this technique "has given scientists a detailed look at species that often can be observed only fleetingly in the wild." <br /> <br /> A notable edition of an iconic work. 7.5'' x 5''.
