Proof illustration in black and white showing a middle-aged man in profile looking to the left of the viewer, seated at a table with a bottle and jug. Annotated in A. R.

Place: Amazon Notes: Two portrait photographs of A. R. Wallace were transferred to more appropriates items or series. Proof pages approximately 23 cm x 14.5 cm. Reproduced in Wallace, Alfred Russel, "My Life" (London 1905). All fairly dirty on the edges with inky fingerprint marks. 24 proof sheets are approximately 23 cm x 14.5 cm, 12 approximately 23 cm x 17 cm.

The two have not been merged because they appear to have been separated into two files by A. R. Wallace himself, though this is dubious and the reason not apparent.
