Wallace Images
Following is a list of Wallace images (mostly
photo-portraits) published during his own time (and thus now post-copyright)
that I have come across. Please note that I have not checked for multiple
printings of the same photo. Also note that some of these photos may have
been printed as left-to-right reversals. The Wallace images I have actually
reproduced at this site come from: the book Darwinism, at age
66 ("Home" screen); the book My Life, at ages 25, 55 and 80 (the
first, third and fourth alternate images to the "Home" screen); James
Marchant, Alfred Russel Wallace: Letters and Reminiscences (1916),
in 1862, 1912 and 1913 (the second, seventh and eighth alternate images
to the "Home" screen); John Rothenstein, The Portrait Drawings
of William Rothenstein 1889-1925 (1926), pl. XLII (the fifth alternate
image to the "Home" screen); a Wallace interview published in
the 20 January 1909 issue of The Woman Worker (the sixth alternate
image to the "Home" screen); the book My Life, at age
30 (the "Wallace Writings" screen); and the book My Life, at
age 46 (the "Wallace Interviews" screen). Many of the books I list in
the "Writings on Wallace" section also contain photographs of Wallace,
including some that are not among the ones itemized below.
Doing an image search on Google.com is a good
way quickly to come up with a lot of actual images of Wallace, though
one cannot find electronic versions of some of the ones referred to below
as yet.
