Darwinism, Natural Selection of Living Organisms, lithograph, published in 1897
Darwinism - Principle of Natural Selection of Living Organisms by Charles Darwin (English naturalist, 1809-1882): 1 - 4) in animals of the same breed and environment - Bumblebee (Bombus confusus); 5 - 7) Climatic transformations between southern and northern Europe - Small tortoiseshell (Aglais urticae); 8 - 9) Transformations between the seasons (seasonal dimorphism) - Map butterfly (Araschnia levana); 10 - 16) Gender-specific transformations (Sexual dimorphism) - Ancyluris inca (female 10, male 11), Scarab beetle (Phanaeus festivus, 12 male, 13-16 male); 17 - 19) Crossbreed between of two organisms of different breeds, varieties, species or genera through sexual reproduction (Bastardization) - Primula auricula (17) and Primula hirsuta (18) are the parents of Primula pubescens (19); 20 - 25) Adaptation to the aquatic life - Water chestnut (Trapa natans), plant (20) and nut (21), Water-crowfoot (Ranunculus aquatilis, 22), Mayfly (Ephemera vulgata, 23) and its gill larva (24), Backswimmer (Notonecta glauca, 25); 26 - 27) Adapting to the parasite life - Toothwort (Lathraea squamaria, 26), Dutchmans pipe (Monotropa Hypopithys, 27).

EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, published in 1897, showcases the essence of Darwinism and the principle of natural selection. The print features a diverse range of living organisms, each demonstrating different aspects of adaptation and evolution. The first set of illustrations (1-4) focuses on animals belonging to the same breed and environment, highlighting how natural selection shapes their characteristics. Among them is the charming Bumblebee (Bombus confusus), showcasing its unique traits acquired through generations. Moving forward, we witness climatic transformations between southern and northern Europe with the Small tortoiseshell butterfly (Aglais urticae) depicted in images 5-7. These variations demonstrate how species adapt to different environmental conditions over time. Seasonal dimorphism takes center stage in images 8-9 as we observe the metamorphosis of Map butterflies (Araschnia levana) between seasons. This striking transformation exemplifies nature's ability to adjust according to changing circumstances. Images 10-16 delve into sexual dimorphism by portraying Ancyluris inca butterflies and Scarab beetles (Phanaeus festivus). Through these examples, we witness distinct physical disparities between male and female individuals within a species. The concept of crossbreeding becomes apparent from images 17-19 where Primula auricula and Primula hirsuta give birth to Primula pubescens through sexual reproduction. This process highlights genetic diversity resulting from interbreeding among different breeds or species. Adaptation to aquatic life is showcased through various organisms such as Water chestnut plants and nuts (Trapa natans), Water-crowfoot flowers (Ranunculus aquatilis), Mayflies (Ephemera vulgata), gill larvae, and Backswimmers (Notonecta glauca) in images 20-25. These creatures have evolved specialized features enabling survival in water environments. Lastly, images 26-27 depict the fascinating adaptation to a parasitic lifestyle
