G. Wells, Julian S. Huxley, and G. P. Wells. Part encyclopedic science text, part philosophical inquiry, part artistic wonder, it remains a cultural landmark.

This edition is bound in a deep indigo cloth with an embossed human figure motif — a bold, almost Art Deco silhouette that feels modern even a century later. The gilt spine still gleams, giving the book a scholarly, sculptural presence when styled on a shelf or console.

Inside, the pages are filled with early biological diagrams: cell structures, embryology, growth studies, evolutionary charts — each printed with that soft, tactile 1930s ink that collectors adore. Despite its age, the interior is remarkably clean and bright.

Whether displayed in a study, a mid-century living space, a creative office, or a cabinet of curiosities, this book adds instant depth and character. It’s a piece that inspires curiosity the moment you see it — a perfect blend of science, design, and literary history.

A substantial, beautiful, and fascinating classic. See less
