Johnson, 1791. 4to (260 x 205 mm), 2 parts in one, first part the first edition, the second part is a third edition, [4], vii-xii, 214, 126, [2]; [2], ix, [1], 197, [1]pp., engraved frontispieces and 18 plates (5 folding), of which 5 plates by William Blake, occasional offsetting, signatures L & M misbound (part 2), scattered faint spotting, marbled endpapers, contemporary full red morocco, single gilt fillet border to boards, smooth spine, seven gilt tooled bands producing 6 compartments, upper compartment with the Arnold crest - a demi tiger regardant bezanty holding a pheon, next compartment gilt lettered direct, some light rubbing to extremities, otherwise a very nice copy. Epic poetic tribute to the lives, loves, and reproductive capacity of plants by the grandfather of Charles Darwin. Darwin's Botanic Garden is important for the five plates in part I which are engraved by William Blake: 'The Fertilization of Egypt,' engraved after the painting by Henry Fuseli, and four engravings of the Portland Vase. "The chief source of Erasmus Darwin's literary fame during his lifetime, The Botanic Garden contains a great deal of important and frequently advanced scientific information in the nearly 300 footnotes and the 115 pages of appendices to its verses..."— The Encyclopaedia Britannica. Provenance: Armorial bookplate of George Henry Arnold (1791-1844) to font paste-down; later bookplate of Ralph Hermon Major.

Portrait of Darwin - Rare Russian carte de visite.
Saint Peterburg, Wesenberg [Down and London, Elliott & Fry], [1874]. Albumen print, mounted on cardboard with a red ink border (10.3 x 6.1 cm). With the printed name Darwin in Cyrillic and printed Cyrillic text on recto and verso. Name of Darwin stamped in cyrillic on verso. Preserved in transparent sleeve. = Carte de visite. With a fine, crisp portrait of Charles Darwin at the age of 65 years. This photo was made in the studio of Elliott & Fry, in 1874. "...while Darwin wrote and published two of his most important evolutionary tracts - Descent of Man and Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals - he took a hiatus from sitting for his photographic image. Once these books were out, however, he needed an updated carte-de-visite that he could send out to his friends and supporters. He turned, again, to the photographers who had made his most recent cartes, Elliot and Fry. They produced at least four different poses, which Darwin would have sent to friends and admirers." (Darwin Project - photographic portraits). Van Wyhe, identifying the four poses with the letters a to d, described the recto of this version (as variety 1874 c.7), but give no information about the card verso. However, it appears to be the same as in their 1874 c.5., and therefore, possibly, it is another edition NOT recorded by Van Wyhe. If and when it was licenced to the Wesenberg firm, located at Fontanka 55 in old Saint Petersburg, is not exactly known. Slightly over-exposed, as always. This copy in very good condition. Very rare. J. Van Wyhe in: Helvert, P. van and J. Van Wyhe, Darwin: a Companion, 1874 c.7. (p. 175). Not recorded by Freeman.
