  CHAPTER 10: DARWIN IN THE DRAWING ROOM

  1. Edward Aveling, Students’ Magazine of Science and Art, 2 September 1878.

  2. Wallace 1883, p. 420. On “Darwinism” as a category see Moore 1991. Several of Darwin’s closest friends went on to publish books of essays carrying in their title variants of the words “Darwinism” or “Darwinina.” See T. H. Huxley 1893, Gray 1876, Romanes 1892, and Wallace 1889.

  3. Discussed, for example, in Altick 1978, Jardine, Secord, and Spary 1996, and Yanni 1999. The rise of a consumer society is examined in McKendrick, Brewer, and Plumb 1982 and T. Richards 1990. See particularly P. Anderson 1991 on the printed image and transformation of popular culture, and Ashton 1991 and 1996 on Lewes and Eliot respectively.

  4. Several versions are in existence, some bronze. One is illustrated on the cover of Kew Books Newsletter 6, 1976. A more convenient illustration is in Service 2000. A “monkey with Darwin’s head” was listed in the Darwin Centenary Exhibition, Cambridge 1909; see Freeman 1978, p. 98.

  5. Howard 1977. For monstrosities as part of biological thought see E. Richards 1994.

  6. The Wedgwood ware, “The Darwinian Theory,” is illustrated in Reilly 1989, vol. 2, p. 130, and was produced by Émile Lessore in 1862. I doubt whether it was ever available in mass-produced form. I am grateful to the Royal Photographic Society and Ms. Debbie Ireland for helping me with questions about Cameron’s copyright photographs. R. D. Wood kindly provided access to his list of Mrs. Cameron’s Copyright Registrations, from which this information is taken.

  7. I thank Teresa Termet Huget for this information.

  8. Bingham 1994. I am extremely grateful to A. Walker Bingham for providing me with information about this firm and its advertisements. See also Holcombe 1979, 367–77.

  9. Cantor 1996 examines public images of a scientific hero. See also Fara 1997 and 2000. In general, see Tagg 1988, Edwards 1992, Green-Lewis 1996, Armstrong 1998, and Jordanova 2000. Useful case studies are in Friedman and Dorley 1985 and Rose 1999.

  10. Ryan 1996 discusses some of these metaphors of cartography and exploration.

  11. Autobiography, p. 78.

  12. The history of caricature is discussed in George 1959, Weschler 1982, Townsend 1992, and Hallett 1999. For caricature and satire in science see Rudwick 1975 and 1976, Browne 1992, and Paradis 1997.

  13. From a large literature on medical caricature see Haslam 1996 and R. Porter 2001.

  14. Weschler 1982 for Paris, Townsend 1992 for Berlin.

  15. Grove Dictionary of Art, vol. 5, pp. 755–61. See also J. R. Harvey 1970.

  16. “A logical refutation of Mr. Darwin’s theory,” Punch, 1 April 1871, p. 130.

  17. A rough estimate is that there was one picture on every page of Punch. An annual volume ran to some 270 pages. See Huggett 1978.

  18. From D. Thomas [1871?], DAR 178.

  19. Harper’s Weekly, 23 December 1871, p. 1209.

  23. Unattributed, Harper’s Weekly, 22 February 1873, p. 160.

  24. W. Smith 1967.

  25. M. Conway 1904, vol. 2, p. 357, discusses the prints, although it confuses one with the other. The attribution to Holyoake is made in W. Smith 1967, pp. xiii–xvi, which reprints the second version as endpapers. I am grateful to Jim Moore for his help on this issue.

  26. Darwin’s copies are in DAR 141:10 and 11.

  27. The first version certainly ran to three impressions, but each batch was probably rather few in number. Since one copy hung in the City Temple, the pivotal institution for revivalist preaching run by Joseph Parker, it would be fair to say that the intended audience was probably highly nonconformist. A copy marked “Third Impre
ssion” was offered for sale at Sotheby’s, 11 December 1992. See W. Smith for the Temple copy.

  28. Globe, 7 November 1872.

  29. Allingham 1907, p. 185.
