Beschreibung:

1 leaf, 41 x 29 cm with a full page wood engraving (30 x 24 cm).

Bemerkung:

Portrait of Charles Darwin. The wood engraving from a photograph by Ernest Edwards appeared in "The Illustrated London News", March 11, 1871, page 244. The back side comprises almost entirely of an article on Darwin. The anonymous text concludes: "Mr. Darwin's theory, unproved as we think it is, ought not to be denounced as inconsistent with the most exalted conception of Divine power and wisdom in creation. Species is a mystery". - Minor wear to the margins; excellent copy.
