One of 50 numbered copies (GA 500) of the deluxe edition on handmade paper. - 'Pandora's Box,' on which Wedekind had been working since 1892, appeared in 1902 as an independent second part of the so-called 'Lulu Tragedy,' which was preceded in 1895 by the first part entitled 'Earth Spirit.' Alastair, who was intrigued by the play with its macabre, degenerate society and wanted to illustrate it, interprets the individual characters according to their personalities through extravagant, decadently exaggerated robes and exalted gestures' (Art Library Berlin, 'From Odysseus to Felix Krull,' page 295). - Without the additional sequence of all 26 illustrations.
