The sixth edition of On the Origin of Species initially appearing in 1872 was the first in which the word evolution occurs following its use in The Descent of Man in 1871 and is the final edition of Darwin's lifetime.

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.

With the name Darwin printed in black below the photo and red crowned logo on verso. Preserved in transparent sleeve. = Carte de visite. With a fine crisp portrait of Charles Darwin at an age of ca. 68 years. This photo was probably made in the studio of Elliott & Fry in 1874. ".while Darwin wrote and published two of his most important evolutionary tracts - Descent of Man and Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals - he took a hiatus from sitting for his photographic image. Once these books were out however he needed an updated carte-de-visite that he could send out to his friends and supporters. He turned again to the photographers who had made his most recent cartes Elliot and Fry". They produced at least four different poses which Darwin would have sent to friends and admirers." Darwin Project - photographic portraits. Van Wyhe gave the four known poses the letters a to d. This card is of his type b.4. The card bears the printed number 1391 and on its verso a red monogram "P". Very rare in such excellent condition. J. Van Wyhe in: Helvert P. van & J. Van Wyhe Darwin: a Companion 1874 b.4 p. 175.
