The Wallace Fund have just finished creating a CafePress shop with a range of exciting products featuring Alfred Russel Wallace and Charles Darwin (see http://www.cafepress.com/WallaceFund and the link to the shop on the left hand side of the Wallace Website). Items include mugs, cards, printed tiles, a framed photograph of Wallace, and a wide selection of clothing. Any profits will go directly to The Wallace Fund and will be used to finance future projects, so please show your support and buy lots of goodies today!
The photo of Wallace featured on some of the products was copied from an original which is owned by the Wallace family, whilst the signatures of Wallace and Darwin were digitised from originals owned by George Beccaloni. The beautiful watercolour painting of Wallace's Flying Frog (Rhacophorus nigropalmatus), which is reproduced on one of the greetings cards, was painted by Wallace himself at the Simunjon coalworks, Sarawak, Borneo, in 1855. The original was in a private collection, but regretably it may now be lost! This is therefore a rare opportunity to buy a reproduction of this wonderful image - hurry whilst stocks last!!
Also check out Darwin Designs, my shop which sells products featuring Charles Darwin - see http://www.cafepress.com/DarwinDesigns/
