Spine ends and board edges a bit rubbed with tiny bit of cloth flaking at base of spine; internally complete and quite fresh the endpapers and hinges clean and strong text firm and unmarked; in all a tight Very Good copy. A key work in Darwin's evolutionary canon originally intended as a section of The Descent of Man but published separately for cost considerations. Darwin's meticulously documented thesis that certain expressions of emotion are if not universal then at least highly correlated across human cultures as well as across animal species has never been seriously challenged. The heliotype plates most of which are printed from original negatives represented an important milestone in scientific book illustration; they were included at considerable expense despite the objections of Darwin's publishers who warned that their inclusion would "poke a terrible hole" in the book's profits. A quite nice copy of a book which while not strictly uncommon is typically found well-worn. D. Appleton & Co unknown books

The heliotype photo plates are works of art and demonstrate a new breakthrough in Victorian photography. From the library of Dr. Oliver Sacks the renowned neurologist author and educator. He was in his life celebrated for his contributions to the understanding of the human brain and his ability to communicate complex scientific concepts to a broader audience.

Overall a solid copy of Darwin's "forgotten masterpiece" with very well-preserved plates. Freeman 1142. The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals expands on Darwin's theories raised in On the Origin of Species 1859 and The Descent of Man 1871 arguing that there is an evolutionary explanation for the human expression of emotions. The book was originally intended by Darwin to be a chapter in The Descent of Man but grew until it was necessary to publish the work separately. An influential text in the field of psychology the book has also been described as "a pivotal turning point in the history of book illustration right up there with Alice in Wonderland" The Atlantic. With seven plates of heliotypes that represent various human emotions The Expression of the Emotions was one of the first scientific books to include photographs. These photographs were provided by a handful of photographers and researchers including Guillaume-Benjamin Duchenne Adolph Kindermann George Charles Wallich James Crichton-Browne and Oscar Rejlander. Rejlander contributed nineteen of the thirty photographs in the book including the crying baby photo later dubbed "Ginx's baby" which became incredibly popular in its time. Interestingly Darwin's research for the book prompted him to circulate one of the first scientific questionnaires which he used to gauge people's ability to identify a handful of core emotions. .
