Inhoud:

In this 2006 book, Jonathan Smith explains how Darwin managed to illustrate the unillustratable - his theories of natural selection - by manipulating the visual conventions of natural history. With its many illustrations this study provides new insights into this little known aspect of Darwin's lasting influence on literature, art and culture.
