Darwin's Origin of Species



What is the best edition of Darwin's Origin of Species?

Ideally, I'd like a book perhaps edited by a famous
evolutionist containing perhaps a few essays by
other biologists, and maybe running commentaries
by them.

Also, the book should contain plenty of illustrations
(color and b/w) and diagrams of the organisms Darwin
studied.  It should include illustrations done by the
artist that traveled with Darwin on his voyage, and
illustrations done by today's artists.  (I'm thinking
of illustrations of the quality found in the book
"Mammoths, Sabertooths, and Hominids")

Any diagrams should be appropriate to the
text (naturally) but through the lense of a modern
biologist.

It should perhaps end with a historical science essay(s)
and a philosophical essay(s) of Darwin's impact and
what the Origin of Species means.  Perhaps an essay on
the discovery of DNA.

Is there such a book?

If not, what is the closest thing?

Please, no smart-*ss creationist-like replies.

thanks guys.
