The Breakdown of Democratic Regimes von Juan J. Stepan, Alfred (Wallace Sayre Profes Linz
When most of us think about natural selection, we attribute that theory to naturalist Charles Darwin. However, what most people do not know is that another scientist, Alfred Wallace, a naturalist, a geographer, and a socialist, also deserves some credit for the theory.

An original c.1832 watercolour painting, Louisa Hare, Blackberry Sprig with Papilio machaon Swallowtail Butterfly. An outstanding large botanical painting, dating from around the 1830s. The sheet is in wonderfully clean and bright condition, due to having been well preserved in a Victorian album. The artist is believed to be Louisa Hare (1776–1853), who resided at Whittern, a large estate at Lyonshall in Herefordshire. Louisa Hare was sister of Catherine Johnstone née Brome (1775–1833), who commissioned the pictures in our collection Sublime Landscapes: Peak District & North Wales 1832. Interestingly, in 1839, the young naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace OM FRS (1823–1913) lived for a time at Kington, less than three miles from Lyonshall. It was at Kington, inspired by the natural landscape and flora around him, that Wallace began to develop an interest in natural history subjects—especially geology, astronomy, and botany—and he became associated with the newly formed Kington Mechanics' Institution. In watercolour with gum arabic to intensify the colour. On Turnbull Superfine London Board with blindstamp upper left. This exquisite watercolour forms part of an impressive collection of natural history works by Louisa Hare née Brome (1776–1853) that we have for sale. Louisa was the daughter of a Staffordshire landowner, Thomas Selleck Brome of Cowich. In 1803 she married Captain James Hare (1772–1826) of Whittern, a large estate at Lyonshall in Herefordshire. She had twelve children, at least two of whom became notable surgeons: Edward Selleck Hare, and Henry Woodroffe Hare, who emigrated to South Africa (where his grandson, Harry Leighton Hare, became a distinguished ornithologist). Interestingly, in 1839, the young naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace OM FRS (1823–1913) lived for a time at Kington, less than three miles from Lyonshall. (There is a drawing of Whittern house by Wallace's brother in the collection of the Natural History Museum). It was at Kington, inspired by the natural landscape and flora around him, that Wallace began to develop an interest in natural history subjects—especially geology, astronomy, and botany—and he became associated with the newly formed Kington Mechanics' Institution. Wallace went on to become one of the leading evolutionary thinkers of the 19th century. The beautiful watercolours in our collection—depicting flowers, leaves, butterflies and other insects—are a mixture of subjects observed locally from nature and what appear to be decorative compositions combining native and more exotic species. As such, the paintings reflect the varied threads of popular naturalism in the early 19th century. Interpreted through the female domestic sphere, where natural history was learnt alongside literature and the arts, some of the paintings also incorporate quotations from Romantic poetic verse. In good condition for its age. The picture may have minor imperfections such as slight marks, toning, foxing, creasing or pinholes, commensurate with age. Please see photos for detail.There are historic adhesive marks and/or paper remnants to the verso, from previous mounting.

‘Outsider art’ in the traditional sense – i.e. Jean Dubuffet’s description – alludes to an isolated artist, working on the periphery of the mainstream art world. Contrary to this controversial beli…
Wallace, A: Die Tropenwelt nebst Abhandlungen verwandten Inh von Alfred R. Wallace
La obra definitiva que recoge la apasionante vida del controvertido naturalista Alfred Russel Wallace de forma íntegra y armónica. «Un día de 1858, mientras estaba enfermo y confinado en su choza en la isla de Ternate (ahora Indonesia), Wallace tuvo una intuición. Llegó a comprender cómo evolucionaban las especies: cambiaban porque los individuos más aptos sobrevivían y se reproducían, transmitiendo sus características ventajosas a sus descendientes. Wallace escribió de inmediato a alguien que sabía que estaba interesado en el tema, se llamaba Charles Darwin». James McNish, Natural History Museum, Londres. Al explorar la cuenca del Amazonas y el archipiélago malayo, Alfred Russel Wallace estableció una conexión entre la biogeografía, que se ocupa de la distribución espacial de las especies en la biosfera, y la teoría de la evolución, que nos habla de los orígenes y extinciones de las especies a lo largo del tiempo. Contemporáneo de Darwin, alcanzó las mismas ideas sobre la selección natural, llegando incluso a adelantarse al eminente naturalista en algunos aspectos como el de la herencia o el significado evolutivo de los colores de plumas, escamas y pelajes de los animales. Pero la figura de este colosal naturalista no quedó solo en el ámbito de las ciencias si no que su labor, muy desconocida hasta la presente obra, se extendió a otros ámbitos de las humanidades y los movimientos sociales: la promoción de los trabajadores y las mujeres, la oposición al racismo, la eugenesia, la vacunación obligatoria... Denunció la industrialización desmedida y fue uno de los pioneros del ecologismo moderno. Superando decididamente el campo de las ciencias naturales convencionales, Wallace se internó en el mundo del espiritualismo de la época victoriana, lo que le granjeó numerosos detractores, encarnizados enemigos; y que generó para la historia de la ciencia interesantes debates filosóficos. Explorador, naturalista, geógrafo, antropólogo, filósofo y analista político... En el momento de su muerte Wallace había escrito más de veinte libros y más de mil artículos y cartas que fueron publicadas. Su vida representa un legado de aciertos y errores; pero sobre todo de trabajo incansable, intuición desmedida e inspiración para las generaciones venideras.
An original c.1832 watercolour painting, Louisa Hare, Agavus Cattleheart Butterfly & Hollyhock Flower. An outstanding large botanical painting, dating from around the 1830s. The sheet is in wonderfully clean and bright condition, due to having been well preserved in a Victorian album. The subject appears to combine a British wildflower with a more exotic butterfly species from the Americas. The artist is believed to be Louisa Hare (1776–1853), who resided at Whittern, a large estate at Lyonshall in Herefordshire.

The Wallace Line
Der erste Entdecker der Evolutionstheorie und der verwegenste aller Naturforscher. Ein Wissenschaftskrimi um den grössten Naturforscher des 19. Jahrhunderts neben Humboldt und Darwin Er hatte ein enorm spannendes Leben, seine wissenschaftliche Reichweite war atemberaubend, sein soziales Engagement legendär – und er entdeckte das Evolutionsprinzip. Verglichen mit dem bedächtigen Charles Darwin war er ein Indiana Jones der Naturforschung und ein Ernest Hemingway der Naturbeschreibung. Nach ihm sind Mond- und Marskrater, Flugfrösche und ganze geographische Regionen benannt. Warum aber ist so einer heute so wenig bekannt?Auf seiner ersten abenteuerlichen Reise erforschte der Schulabbrecher und Autodidakt vier Jahre lang Brasilien – doch bei der Rückreise fing sein Schiff mitten auf dem Ozean Feuer und sank. Wallace rettete nur sein Leben, seine fantastische naturwissenschaftliche Sammlung ging verloren.Seine zweite Expedition führte ihn durch den malaiischen Archipel, wo er im Alleingang 125.000 naturwissenschaftliche Objekte sammelte, über 1000 Tier- und Pflanzenarten davon noch unbeschrieben – eine unglaubliche Leistung. Während der Reise entwickelte er auch eine Theorie über den Ursprung der Arten, die er brieflich an Charles Darwin sandte. Ein Jahr später erschien dessen Buch »Die Entstehung der Arten«, Darwin wurde weltberühmt und gilt seitdem als alleiniger Vater der Evolutionstheorie.Seit einiger Zeit wird in Fachkreisen heftig gestritten: Was für die einen Zufall oder Zeugnis der Zusammenarbeit zweier bedeutender Forscher ist, wird für andere zur übelsten Fälschungsaffäre der Biologiegeschichte. Matthias Glaubrecht geht zum 100. Todestag Wallaces den Fakten und Gerüchten um den unbekanntesten aller Titanen der Wissenschaftsgeschichte nach – das erste Buch über Wallace in Deutschland, ein Augenöffner für den Leser. Das erste deutsche Buch über Alfred Russel Wallace 100. Todestag am 7.11.2013 «Was er ausgesprochen hat, war wahrscheinlich das Einflussreichste was im 19. Jahrhundert gesagt worden ist.» Gregory Bateson

The Wallace Line between Asia and Australia separates different, but related species. Learn how evolution is affected by this imaginary boundary.
Et si l'histoire des sciences n'était pas celle que vous croyez ? Saviez-vous que Darwin se serait fait damer le pion par Alfred Wallace, si ce dernier n'avait pas eu un sacré syndrome de l'imposteur ? Que la composition des étoiles n'a pas été découverte par Henry Russel, mais par Cecilia Payne, à qui il avait ordonné de se taire ? Que la première caméra n'a pas été inventée par les fameux frères Lumière, mais par Augustin Le Prince, disparu mystérieusement dans un train juste avant de présenter son invention ? Que nous devons la découverte de la matière noire, de la trisomie 21 ou encore du chromosome Y à des femmes nommées Vera Rubin, Marthe Gautier et Nettie Stevens ?Grâce à cette BD pleine d'humour, issue de la chronique « Trou de mémoire » du magazine Science et Vie junior, partez à la découverte d'une autre histoire des sciences, à la rencontre de ces 48 hommes et femmes passionnants, fantasques et attachants ; qui, parfois à cause de leur caractère trop mégalo ou procrastinateur, mais surtout en raison du sexisme ou du racisme, ont été injustement évincés. Ces « oubliés » et leurs découvertes, remis ici en lumière par le trait enlevé de Camille Van Belle, vous ouvriront à coup sûr de nouveaux horizons et vous rendront curieux du monde, de ses galaxies à ses atomes.
