A Wallace-related name badge holder from 1958
I collect artefacts related to Alfred Russel Wallace ("Wallaceiana"), and although there are certainly not nearly as many as there are Darwin-related items ("Darwiniana"), new pieces do occasionally still turn up. The latest is the name badge holder below, which I purchased from a well known online auction site. It was produced for the XV International Congress of Zoology in 1958, which celebrated the 100th anniversary of the reading at the Linnean Society of London, of Darwin and Wallace's seminal papers proposing the theory of evolution by natural selection.
