Behind the print

Charles Darwin

Naturalist · 1809–1882

The scientist

After twenty years of quiet work, Darwin was pushed into print in 1858 when Alfred Russel Wallace sent him a letter describing the same idea. On the Origin of Species came out on 24 November 1859, and its argument for evolution by natural selection still underpins all of biology.

Origin / 1859 print artwork

What’s in the print

  1. The circle

    A single, worn ring: one origin, one shared starting point for every living thing.

  2. The line that splits

    One stroke crosses the circle and forks at the end. The Origin had just one illustration, and it was a branching diagram like this.

  3. ORIGIN 1859

    The year the book was published, set as simply as a record label.
