Although the "Origins of Species" contained just a single visual illustration, Charles Darwin's other books, from his monograph on barnacles in the early 1850s to his volume on earthworms in 1881, were copiously illustrated by well-known artists and engravers. Jonathan Smith explains how Darwin managed to illustrate the unillustrable - his theories of natural selection by manipulation and modifying the visual conventions of natural history, using images to support the claims made in his texts.
