1777 Frog to Apollo Man Lavater evolution
Rare First edition copperplate engraving 1777,Johann Caspar Lavater's "Physiognomy",a series of drawings showing the successive stages of a morphological transformation of a frog head into the idealized profile of man (and ultimately in a second plate to Apollo). Described in a 2009 paper by Ross Woodrow as - "one of the most compellingly inventive images published in the early nineteenth century - with profound contemporary impact". It was copied many times. The images have resonance in evolutionary thought long before Darwin. Darwin himself had a heavily annotated copy of the ten volume French edition which contained this image. It was however originally designed to show not evolution,but how faces can grade from the base (frog) to the grand (man) to affect our perception of beauty. A further plate takes the transformation from a man to Apollo
