Description

The renowned naturalist??Perhaps you collect photographs?

English naturalist and author (1809–1882) whose book explaining his theories of evolution, On the Origin of the Species by Means of Natural Selection (1859), takes a place among the most influential texts in the history of scientific thought. ALS signed “Ch. Darwin,” one page, 4.5 x 2.75, no date. Brief note to a collector. In full: “Perhaps you collect photographs so I enclose one, as I do not remember having sent one before.” In fine condition, with a central vertical fold and mild soiling. A bold and beautifully penned example of Darwin’s signature, enhanced by the photographic collecting content and generosity he displays herein. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA.
