"Bell was at the heart of the scientific establishment and when Charles Darwin returned to London from the Beagle expedition on 2 December 1836, Bell was quick to take on the task of describing the reptile specimens. He was also entrusted with the specimens of Crustacea collected on the voyage. He was the authority in this field; his book British Stalk-eyed Crustacea is a masterwork. He played a significant part in the inception of Darwin's theory of natural selection in March 1837 when he confirmed that the giant Galápagos tortoises were native to the islands, not brought in by buccaneers for food as Darwin had thought." [Wikip.] Thomas Bell was President of the Linnean Society.…

Volume testo: XXII - (4) - 302 pagine numerate; volume tavole: (4) - 204 pagine numerate; il foglio volante indicato con pagina 212 è posto invece a pagina 172. All`interno, 87 tavole numerate impresse su 79 fogli (8 sono su doppia pagina e doppia numerazione) litografate fuori testo in due colori. Sono comprese le 4 tavole con vedute sulla Vézêre. Prima edizione di un`opera imponente e complessa originariamente pubblicata, fra il 1865 e il 1875, in 17 dispense periodiche.L`opera divisa in due volumi, testo più tavole,riportale scoperte del paleontologo franceseÉdouard Lartet e l`archeologo e finanziatore britannico Henry Christy nel territorio della Francia meridionale.In particolare gli scavi furono condotti nella valle della Vézère, nel dipartimento della Dordogna (regione dell`Aquitania, storicamente nota anche come Périgord) - uno dei più importanti giacimenti preistorici del mondo.Il testo fu curato e completato dopo la morte di Christy dal geologo e paleontologo Thomas Rupert Jones (1811-1911), mentre la pubblicazione del volume definitivo si deve all`editore William eamp; Norgate. Il testo contiene splendide e dettagliate tavole litografiche a due colori, che illustrano le prime testimonianze \"artistiche\" dell`umanitàrisalenti al Magdaleniano, ovvero tra i 10.000 e i 17.000 anni fa. Si tratta di incisioni e sculture su palchi di renna, ossa e avorio raffiguranti stambecchi, cavalli, bisonti e il celebre mammut della grotta di La Madeleine (tav. B XXVIII), che fornì la prova innegabile della coesistenza di esseri umani e mammut. Benché gli scavi principali fossero di Lartet padre e Christy, il volume documenta e illustra anche il ritrovamento nel 1868, da parte del figlio di Lartet (Louis Lartet), dei celebri resti dell`Uomo di Cro-Magnon, il primo esempio fossile anatomicamente moderno di Homo sapiens in Europa. Esemplare in buona conservazione, sporadiche fioriture dovute al tipo di carta, davvero suggestive le belle tavole in due colori.…
