An exhibition about the life and work of Charles Darwin, drawn from the Warren D. Mohr Collection, will be on view in Spring 2001. The
collection, donated to The Huntington in 1993 by Warren Mohr, is a vast library of volumes by and about Charles Darwin, including more than
1,000 different editions of Darwin's works and over 500 supporting volumes by his contemporaries and followers.
This will be the first time that
selections from this remarkable collection are exhibited for the public. Highlights of the collection include the magnificent Zoology of the Voyage
of the HMS Beagle (1838-1843), and more than 200 printings of Darwin's seminal work, On the Origin of Species, including most of the
important non-English translations. Approximately 50 works will be exhibited. West Hall.
