Description
The Malay Archipelago (Facsimile Edition) is a meticulously reproduced facsimile from Wallace's personal copy of the 10th edition. This landmark travelogue chronicles Alfred Russel Wallace's eight-year expedition to Southeast Asia between 1854 and 1862, resulting in a profound impact on our understanding of evolution and the natural world. During his travels, Wallace amassed an extraordinary collection of specimens, including over 5,000 new species, which significantly advanced the field of biogeography. This edition features additional information from subsequent collectors, corrected errors by Wallace himself, and stunning illustrations by contemporary artists. The hardback edition includes two fold-out colour maps of the archipelago, providing a unique insight into Wallace's journeys. A beautiful and authentic scholarly reference book, this facsimile edition also includes a new foreword by Sandra Knapp, President of the Linnean Society (2018-2022).
