Caricatures of Darwin and evolution (original) (raw)

There are the familiar favourites and hundreds of unknown caricatures and satirical images referring to Darwin and evolution- with many surprises. These literally change the picture of the public reactions to Darwin and evolution. The catalogues provide more accurate and detailed descriptions and clarifications about these historic images than ever before.
