Darwin, Charles, 1809-1882 · 1890 · London : J. Murray · 4 pictures

Darwin's Journal of Researches, published in London by J. Murray in 1890, is a narrative of natural history and geology written by the naturalist Charles Darwin about the voyage of HMS Beagle round the world. The pictures are plain black-and-white wood engravings, mostly rotated scanned pages, showing South American landscapes, Galapagos tortoises and a map of South America; a designer might take from them the quiet, documentary style of nineteenth-century scientific travel plates.
