1873Best.-Nr. 21091101New York: D. Appleton and Company 1873. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine. First US edition octavo size 396 pp. Charles Robert Darwin 1809-1882 was interested in the origins of life from a young age and when the "Beagle" had an opening for a naturalist his interest and reputation for "collecting observing & noting any thing worthy to be noted in Natural History" earned him the post on this voyage which would last for five years and which would become duly famous. It would become 'the key formative event in Darwin's life" and the many species he observed both living and extinct would foster "an intellectual ferment and fortify him to re-evaluate all of natural history" n.b. quote from the online Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. This work "The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals" is "Charles Darwin's third major work of evolutionary theory following 'On the Origin of Species' 1859 and 'The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex' 1871. Initially intended as a chapter in Descent of Man Expression grew in length and was published separately in 1872. Darwin explores the biological aspects of emotional behaviour and the animal origins of human characteristics like smiling and frowning shrugging shoulders lifting eyebrows in surprise and baring teeth in an angry sneer" n.b. quote from Wiki. He "examined the causes physiological and psychological of all the fundamental emotions in man and animals. He concluded that 'the chief expressive actions exhibited by man and by the lower animals are now innate or inherited' and that most of the movements of expression must have been gradually acquired. This is the only book by Darwin illustrated with photographs" n.b. quote from the online History of Medicine and the Life Sciences. ___DESCRIPTION: Bound in full rust-coloured cloth over boards both boards with ruled borders and decorations in black the spine with gilt ruled borders and lettering light yellow coated endpapers with twenty-one in-text illustrations and seven Heliotype plates the plate facing p. 264 being a four-panel foldout fourteen pages of publisher's ads at the rear; octavo size 8" by 5 1/4" pagination: i-iii iv-viii 1 2-374 14-page publisher's catalogue at rear. ___CONDITION: Volume now near fine we had a professional name available upon request restore the joints head and tail of the spine; the boards clean straight corners without rubbing a strong square text block with solid hinges the interior is clean and the sole prior owner marking we see a short gift inscription in pencil on the front free endpaper "from name to Prof Lakoff"; some overall light toning to the paper the four-panel fold-out illustration with a shallow crease at the top right margin and the fold between the third and fourth panels apparently having been neatly mended with glue at some point. ___CITATION: Freeman no. 1143; Garrison & Morton no. 4975. ___POSTAGE: International customers please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

1873Best.-Nr. 90263New York: D. Appleton & Co 1873. First Edition. First printing. Octavo 20cm. Publisher's terra-cotta cloth with gilt titles on spine; decorative devices stamped in black on upper and lower covers; i-vii; 1-374pp 14pp ads; seven inserted leaves of plates three folding; text illus. 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
1872Best.-Nr. 12139London: John Murray 1872. First Edition later state. Hardcover. Good. First Edition later state. Hardcover. Previously owned by Oliver Sacks.

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. In doing so he highlighted the profound impact of neurological disorders on human identity and experience. His library is a reflection of this remarkable polymath's questing mind.

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. .
