EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Pandora's fateful decision to open the box, as depicted in a work by British artist Walter Crane. Inspired by Nathaniel Hawthorne's A Wonder Book for Girls and Boys, published in Boston in 1910, this image delves into the timeless mythological tale that has its roots traced back to ancient Greek poet Hesiod. Intriguingly, Pandora's desire to unlock the box is beautifully portrayed here, showcasing her irresistible temptation and curiosity. The delicate brushstrokes and vivid colors bring forth an air of mystique and allure surrounding this pivotal moment. The significance of this scene lies not only in its artistic representation but also in its historical importance. As we delve into mythology through this illustration, we are reminded of how these ancient stories have shaped our understanding of human nature throughout time. Pandora opening the box symbolizes the release of all evils upon humanity – a cautionary tale warning against succumbing to temptation. This image serves as a powerful reminder that even though troubles may arise from within our own desires or actions, it is ultimately up to us how we navigate them. Ken Welsh's archival photograph allows us to appreciate both the beauty and complexity behind this iconic mythological event. It invites us to reflect on our own struggles with temptation while acknowledging the profound impact that ancient tales continue to have on our collective consciousness.
