SIGNED COPIES OF THEIR GROUNDBREAKING ARTICLES ON THE STRUCTURE OF DNA. 3 items: 1. "Molecular Structure of Nucleic Acids." Pp 737-741 in: Nature vol 171, no 4356 (April 25, 1953). London: Macmillan & Co, 1953. 8vo (250 x 175 mm). Lacking wrappers and preliminary advertising leaves. Signed ("James D Watson" and "Francis Crick") on p 738. 2. "Genetical Implications of the Structure of Deoxyribonucleic Acid." Pp 964-967 in: Nature vol 171, no 4361 (May 30, 1953). London: MacMillan & Co, 1953. Lacking wrappers and preliminary advertising leaves. Signed ("James D Watson" and "Francis Crick") on p 964. 3. "Index" to Nature vol 171 (January 3-June 27, 1953). London: MacMillan and Co, 1953. 64 pp. 8vo. Lacking wraps. All volumes rebacked with archival tape. Housed together in custom clamshell box featuring signature of Francis Crick tipped to inside cover. Watson and Crick published their first article on the structure of DNA in Nature vol 171 no 4356. This issue also contained articles by Wilkins, Stokes and Wilson and Franklin and Gosling. Questions about their methodologies led Watson and Crick to publish the second article in Nature vol 171 no 4361, in which they would argue confidently that they had uncovered the "molecular basis of the template needed for genetic reproduction." See illustration.
