Canto XVIII/1 The wolf (cf. Canto 1/2) introduces the largest section of the Inferno; the sins of envy and deep malice. The drawing is loosely based on photographs of a stuffed wolf's head, purchased at the photographic archive on the rue de Seine in Paris whose window has fascinated me ever since I was a schoolboy there in 1955. The three-headedness of the animal (a late introduction into the image) recalls the three beasts of Canto I and provides a savage echo of the merely greedy Cerberus. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
