1873réf. 852London: John Murray Albemarle Street 1873. Early John Murray printing 1873 “Tenth Thousand” of Darwin’s The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals one of his most influential and innovative works following The Descent of Man. In this groundbreaking study Darwin argues for the evolutionary continuity of emotional expression between humans and animals proposing that facial expressions gestures and bodily reactions are inherited traits shaped by natural selection. The book presents his famous three principles of expression—serviceable associated habits antithesis and direct action of the nervous system. Notably this work was among the first scientific books to incorporate photographic illustrations as evidentiary material. The heliotype plates of infants and patients including the well-known crying children plates were revolutionary for their time and reflect Darwin’s commitment to empirical documentation. Illustrated throughout with engravings by T. W. Wood and others including expressive studies of cats dogs birds and primates. A cornerstone text in evolutionary psychology behavioral science and the history of photography in scientific publishing. Condition & Binding: Original publisher’s green cloth with gilt spine lettering and decorative tooling. Boards show moderate rubbing and light wear at extremities; corners lightly bumped. Spine gilt remains bright and legible. Cloth remains clean with minor surface scuffing. Hinges secure; binding firm.

"Prepared under the advice of Lyell and Hooker this was Darwin's greatest work and one of the most important books ever published. The evidence for the existence of evolution and that it resulted from the survival of the fittest by natural selection is marshaled and set out as never before. Garrison considered this "the most wonderful piece of synthesis in the history of science". Darwin's influence on biology was fundamental its full implications being by no means yet exhausted."
