Aggiungi al carrelloHardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. WALLACE, Alfred Russel. The Malay Archipelago: The Land of the Orang-Utan, and the Bird of Paradise. A Narrative of Travel, with Studies of Man and Nature. London: Macmillan and Co., 1869. First edition, first impression. Two volumes. Wallace was far more than Darwin's celebrated co…ntemporary. Explorer, collector, geographer and naturalist, he independently conceived the principle of evolution by natural selection during eight years in the Malay Archipelago, from 1854 to 1862. His 1858 essay, sent to Darwin from Ternate, led to the joint presentation of their ideas at the Linnean Society. He became the founding figure of biogeography: the "Wallace Line", which marks the sharp transition between Asian and Australasian animal life, remains one of the most vivid concepts in natural history. The Malay Archipelago is the great literary and scientific culmination of that experience. Across some 14,000 miles and roughly seventy expeditions, Wallace assembled more than 125,000 natural-history specimens, including over a thousand new species. He made this remarkable book from those journeys: at once travel narrative, ethnography, zoology and a field record of evolutionary thought. Its pages contain orang-utans, birds of paradise, insects, peoples, forests, volcanoes and islands, described with the close observational power of a scientist who was also an exceptional writer. The printed dedication to Charles Darwin is particularly moving. Wallace offers the work both as a token of personal esteem and friendship and as an expression of his admiration for Darwin's genius. It records one of science's great intellectual friendships, while asserting Wallace's immense, independent contribution to the understanding of life. The original boards, richly patinated with age, have been retained and carefully conserved. The volumes have been expertly rebacked in closely matched calf, the new spines raised on bands, finished with red and green morocco labels and gilt tooling in a sympathetic nineteenth-century style. Each board is completed with a discreet contemporary gilt and black onlaid orang-utan device, drawn from the original publisher's binding and the title-page design, creating a thoughtful homage to the work's original visual language. Marbled endpapers with gilt turn-ins. Thomas Baines, Walter Hood Fitch, John Gerrard Keulemans, E. W. Robinson, Joseph Wolf and T. W. Wood. (illustratore).

Aggiungi al carrelloTen unpaginated 26 x 22 cm. leaves, comprising three leaves of letterpress (cover, title and back cover), and seven leaves each with a 17 x 14 cm black-and-white photograph laid down. A frail survival, with the photographic portraits in good condition, but the brittle leaves chipped and discoloured. One bifolium intact (with rem…ains of string binding), all the other leaves detached and loose, making it difficult to ascertain whether the item is or is not complete.

The title carries an attractive illustration by Norman Keene, and lists the actors (photographed in character) as Miss Gertie Millar, Miss Gwendoline Brogden, Miss Teddie Gerrard, Mr. Arthur Playfair, Miss Gina Palerme, Mr. A. Simon-Girard, Mr. Nelson Keys; with 'Books and Lyrics by Arthur Wimperis and Basil Hood. | Music by Lionel Moncokton and Herman Finck. | Produced by Edward Royce and Tom Reynolds.' The illustrations are all present as per subjects listed on title-page andt in the following note on the back cover: 'The Music of "Bric-a-Brac" is published by Chappell & Co. and Hawkes & Son. | The Photographic Reproductions in this Souvenir are from originals by Rita Martin (Miss Gertie Millar and Miss Gina Palerme), Hugh Cecil (Miss Gwendoline Brogden) and Foulsham & Banfield (Miss Teddie Gerrard, Mr. Nelson Keys, Mr. Arthur Playfair, Mr. A. Simon-Girard). | The Copyright Design on the Cover is by Norman Keene (reproduced by permission of P. C. Burton & Co.)' The page on which each of the seven illustrations is laid down is printed in grey, with a facsimile of the actor's signature, and a few bars of the score associated with the actor's character, in facsimile autograph of either Monckton or Finck, and each with a facsimile of the composer's signature.
