[ROBERT MERRY and CHARLES BONNER]

Airs, Duetts, and Chorusses, Arrangement and Scenery, and Sketch of the Pantomime, Entitled The Picture of Paris. Taken in the Year 1790. As performed at the Theatre-Royal, Covent Garden.

T.C. Cadell, 1790. 8vo. pp. 20 [with half title]. Later parchment backed boards. Robert Merry [1755 - 98] was a poet and dilettante who managed to squander a considerable fortune. He was much taken with the French Revolution and spent time in Paris during 1789 and 90, following which he presumably wrote this short pantomime with the actor/manager Charles Bonner.

[Darwin, Charles Robert]

Portrait of Darwin - Rare Russian carte de visite.

Saint Peterburg, Wesenberg [Down and London, Elliott & Fry], [1874]. Albumen print, mounted on cardboard with a red ink border (10.3 x 6.1 cm). With the printed name Darwin in Cyrillic and printed Cyrillic text on recto and verso. Name of Darwin stamped in cyrillic on verso. Preserved in transparent sleeve. = Carte de visite. With a fine, crisp portrait of Charles Darwin at the age of 65 years. This photo was made in the studio of Elliott & Fry, in 1874. "...while Darwin wrote and published two of his most important evolutionary tracts - Descent of Man and Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals - he took a hiatus from sitting for his photographic image. Once these books were out, however, he needed an updated carte-de-visite that he could send out to his friends and supporters. He turned, again, to the photographers who had made his most recent cartes, Elliot and Fry. They produced at least four different poses, which Darwin would have sent to friends and admirers." (Darwin Project - photographic portraits). Van Wyhe, identifying the four poses with the letters a to d, described the recto of this version (as variety 1874 c.7), but give no information about the card verso. However, it appears to be the same as in their 1874 c.5., and therefore, possibly, it is another edition NOT recorded by Van Wyhe. If and when it was licenced to the Wesenberg firm, located at Fontanka 55 in old Saint Petersburg, is not exactly known. Slightly over-exposed, as always. This copy in very good condition. Very rare. J. Van Wyhe in: Helvert, P. van and J. Van Wyhe, Darwin: a Companion, 1874 c.7. (p. 175). Not recorded by Freeman.
