Possibly the most important and challenging scientific book ever published, On the Origin of Species remains surprisingly modern and direct and is presented here in a faithful facsimile edition.

Taken from the second edition (1860), this text is the same as the first except for some minor corrections and so is the purest distillation of Charles Darwin's original vision. It includes the introductory appendix, 'An Historical Sketch of the Recent Progress of Opinion on the Origin', which first appeared in the third edition (1861).

24/25 Home Goalkeeper Shirt – Bristol City 

£55.00

Product description from their website:

Get kitted out like your favourite players in the official 2024/25 Bristol City Home Goalkeeper Shirt.

As worn by the men's first team on matchdays, this short sleeve home shirt is the perfect way to show your pride and passion.

With sustainability at the forefront of our production, it’s great to be able to use O'Neills new Repreve fabric for the Bristol City goalkeeper shirts for the 24/25 season. Repreve transforms single use plastic bottles into polymer resin to make yarn. Each individual shirt contains approximately 9 single use plastic bottles. The process includes collecting single use plastic bottle then chopping, grinding and cleaning the flakes prior to melting them before transforming them into a high quality Repreve resin. At this stage the resin is melted into a liquid polymer and extruded to form fiber where it is then spun into a yarn ready to enter the fabric knitting stage of production.

Every strand of REPREVE® is embedded with FiberPrint®, a proprietary tracer technology. This means, like human DNA, we know a product’s origins and can verify it with the U Trust® certification.

Grotesque Green Man Skull – Sir John Soane's Museum

Grotesque Green Man Skull

£25.00

Product description from their website:

Inspired by the collection of Grotesques filling the Monk's Parlour in the crypt area of the Sir John Soane Museum. It was with mixed feelings that Soane watched a rising public fashion for the Gothic style. He designed this playfully sombre space, the Monk's Parlour to satirise this style.

Taken from the medieval (1350) carvings that are found upon the highly decorated Misericords and supports within the choir stalls at Ely Cathedral. This carving shows another depiction of the legendary pagan image of the Green Man. This most interesting portrait shows the Green Man as being a human skull, seen with the classic foliage around the head but most differently being that of an image of death. The Green Man symbolises the eternal cycle of life from one generation to the next through birth to death and then carried on in the next generation and has close associations with nature, the natural elements and Mother Nature. This carving is set to remind us that we are all mortal beings with death a close certainty; this would have been most prominent in the medieval period where life was very hard and full of uncertainties.

Oakapple Designs Ltd are the only company in the UK with permission to take moulds from original medieval carvings from within the Cathedrals of Britain and to then reproduce them for sale. These reproductions are cast from a resin composite and then stained to give the product all the fine detail, feel and authenticity of the original carving.

Fitted with a ring for hanging. Size is approx 100 mm x 130 mm
