1878réf. 178890London: 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

Darwin" Charles Dawin. 1Volumes One and Two bear the signature “E. Darwin” probably Edward Charles Darwin’s half cousin 1821-1901. ~ Julia Wedgewood 1821-1901 was Charles Darwin’s cousin and correspondent. This is the second of two novels. Wedgewood's father objected to her writing novels so she continued writing literary criticism and articles. One of the latter was published in 1861 on the theological significance of "On the Origin of the Species" to which Darwin responded "You understand my book perfectly". I have examined twenty or so specimen signatures and conclude it is Darwin. Wedgewood’s association and family provenance would be sufficient evidence of authenticity. ~ Darwin was know to be rough on books. He read in bed often laying in with books piled high on the bedroom floor. Folio and quarto being heavy he would often breake the spine in two and could find the second half in the bedside piles within minutes when needed. London.

réf. 23112July 19th 1886. Questionnaire partly filled in by Darwin from "Translation of Scientific Memoirs' Committee" 2pp 4to minor sunning good condition. NOT including the Printed Letter p.1 from H.W. Crosskey explaining what the questionnaire is for "Action for the Translation and Publication of Foreign Scientific Memoirs" to be put to the attention of the British Association. Signed on recto two answers on verso.See Image.The questionnaire comprises four questions with a final section headed "Remarks" the questions being "1."Do you think it advisable that steps should be taken to secure the systematic translation and publication in English of all the more important foreign scientific memoirs; 2. If so advisable would the work be best accomplished: a by the formation of a Special Society or Committee for dealing with memoirs on all subjects; or b by the formation of separate Societies or Committees each dealing with one particular branch of science; or c by urging the existing scientific Societies to undertake the translation of the memoirs with which they are most nearly concerned 3. Would it be necessary in your opinion to translate memoirs in the French language 4. Should the work of translation be done voluntarily or be paid for by a small fee; the name of the translator in either case being attached to his work" Section 5 is headed "Remarks" verso.DarwinHe answers Question 1. "I do not think it advisable. IIt seems to me that no amount of translation that is at all practicable would do away with the necessity of being able to read french & germansic".No answers to questions 2 and 3 left blank. Question 4 answer rather conflicting with the earlier answer: "I think it should be paid for by a fairly good fee. The translations must as pointed out in the pamphlet be made by those having special knowledge of the subject and I cannot help doubting whether such persons would undertake the drudgery of translation unless they were well paid."No Remarks. Note: A copy of the report based on this and other completed questionnaires apparently the only one recorded is at the National Library of Medicine Bethesda USA . Despite valiant efforts including being one hour's drive away I have been unable to see it or secure a copy: " Report presented by the council to the annual meeting of members held in the library of the Medical InstituteOctober 8 1885.
