Eugen von Gothard (Jeno Gothard, 1857-1909) played a very important role in European astronomy at the end of the 19th century. From the 1880s, he focused his scientific activity on astronomical photography. His pioneering work in this field made him known worldwide and forever entered his name in the annals of science history. The scientific inheritance of Gothard is maintained by Gothard Astrophysical Observatory of Lorand Eotvos University. A valuable part of this material is the astronomical plate collection of 455 pieces taken between 1882 and 1900, containing unique images of comets, star clusters, nebulae, galaxies and stellar spectra, e.g. the plate recorded the central star of the Ring Nebula (M57) for the first time on September 1, 1886.
