Emily had the opportunity to look at this book recently whilst visiting a private research library. It’s an original first edition printing of The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin (as the first printing, it’s technically entitled On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life). I’m envious that I didn’t get to see it, but she took these pictures for me.
