“There is grandeur in this view of life… from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”
Charles Darwin’s controversial theory of natural selection, or the survival of the fittest, gained him worldwide fame and thrust the topic of evolution into the epicentre of a heated discourse that continues to this day, even 150 years after the initial publication of his work.
This lovely edition of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species not only features over 100 delicately detailed and informative illustrations but also a gold-embossed cover design, gilded page edges, and beautiful endpapers, making it a true work of art.
