EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Walter Crane's exquisite illustration of Pandora's box, a renowned Greek mythological tale. In this artwork, Pandora stands beside Epimetheus, her curiosity piqued by the mysterious box before them. The image is part of Nathaniel Hawthorne's retelling of Greek myths and was featured in his "Wonder Book for Girls and Boys" published in 1892. Crane's artistic prowess shines through in this drawing, as he skillfully captures the essence of ancient Greece with intricate details and vibrant colors. His portrayal of Pandora as a strong yet curious heroine adds depth to the narrative, emphasizing her pivotal role in unleashing chaos upon humanity. The image not only transports us to antiquity but also serves as a reminder of the enduring power of mythology. It symbolizes our eternal fascination with stories that explore human nature, consequences, and the boundaries between good and evil.
