Alfred Russel Wallace’s collecting journey in Dorey, New Guinea
Alfred Russel Wallace is a less-well-known protagonist in the debate on evolution and natural selection sparked by the publication of Charles Darwin’s Origin of Species in 1859. Yet his contributions written during his travels in the Malay Archipelago in the late 1850s and communicated to London were hugely influential. Of special note is the essay he wrote on the spice island of Ternate that described his independently-derived theory for a natur…
Towards a methodology for analysing nineteenth-century collecting journeys of science and empire, with Charles Darwin's activities in Tierra del Fuego as a case study
The interests of Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace in natural history and evolution took them to remote parts of the globe on hazardous, multi-sensory journeys that were ultimately about collecting. This paper introduces a methodology for exploring these complex experiences in more detail, informed by historical geography, anthropology, textual analysis and the geo-humanities. It involves looking for evidence of the richly stimulating and …
From Down House to Avebury
When Sir John Lubbock died in May 1913, his estate included a seemingly eclectic assortment of prehistoric stone tools and ethnographic artefacts displayed on the walls of his home at High Elms and hidden away in storage. However, detailed analysis of the history of this collection reveals a fascinating story of a man inspired by Darwin and like-minded evolutionary thinkers, who became one of the most important intellectuals in Victorian Britain …
Collecting artefacts, acquiring empire
This article examines the complex relationship between collecting artefacts and acquiring empire in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, focusing on the British context. It argues that collecting practices were not simply a consequence of imperial expansion, but actively contributed to the construction of imperial ideologies and power structures. The article explores how the acquisition of objects from colonized territories served …
The Collections of Sir John Lubbock, the First Lord Avebury (1834-1913) 'An Open Book
Does the collection of archaeological and ethnographic material created by Sir John Lubbock shed light on the nature of late 19th-century English society, and Lubbock's role within it? I am currently undertaking research1 into this very question, exploring the depths of potential meaning held by a selection of artefacts now housed at Bromley Museum2 and the British Museum. This article proposes a methodology for carrying out such a collection ana…
