Darwin & Hooker, 1865 — September Edition

Charles Darwin's theories are famously known by all. September's mail wants you to know the man behind the science: his friendship with the botanist Joseph Hooker. Theirs is a remarkably intimate exchange between two of Victorian science's most important naturalists, and a glimpse of the private lives that existed alongside their public work.

You get a reprint of the original correspondence, a postcard with original art and a personal note, a zine detailing the story of a forty-year friendship conducted through nearly 1,400 letters, and puzzles and small things found down research rabbit holes. Hand-sealed and posted to you anywhere in India.
