First Hungarian edition of Darwin's opus magnum, the On the Origin of Species (1859), the foundation of evolutionary biology.
A fajok eredete was Darwin's first book to be translated into Hungarian. The translator László Dapsy (1843-1890) was a gymnasium teacher in Budapest, who studied at the New College in The University of Edinburgh. While in Scotland Dapsy was introduced to Darwin's scientific theories, and back in Hungary, he became a pioneer advocate of Darwinism.
As a member of the Hungarian Society of Natural Sciences Dapsy urged the publication of Darwin's works in Hungarian and translated the present book, On the Origin of Species. While working on the text, he was in correspondence with Darwin who, besides authorized the publication, provided the photograph after which the portrait, illustrating this edition, has been made.
The translation was revised by another progressive Hungarian scientist and early Darwinist Tivadar Margó (1816-1896), who was the author of the first Hungarian zoological book based on Darwin's theories, and the first biography of Darwin written in Hungarian. Margó held the memorial lecture after Darwin's death at the Hungarian Academy of Science of which Darwin was an honorary fellow since as early as 1872, wherein he recollected the memories about his personal encounter with Darwin in 1875.
Provenance: Ownership stamp of Dr. János Garán (1847?-1911), country doctor in Székelyhíd (today: Săcueni, Romania).
