This print is one of the proofs for the first edition of Phillips' Dante's Inferno. The completed prints were destroyed in a fire at the Editions Alecto studio and never published as an edition. Phillips subsequently redid the prints in a different manner although he borrowed some of the imagery from the first edition. The prints in a limited edition and a trade edition book were published by Phillips and Thames and Hudson, respectively. A Humument text of this image reads, "lovers / in horror, and / she / motionless, he / slowly filled with tears," "Her / judged / lips trembled /towards him," "passion / done for / -- I have no / emotion" "him / for me / emotion is gone, and / lost / the ghost of / fact / outgrown" "the case of the / emotions / now / withered/ lost soul / the fossil of a / former self / survives / the / mere ghost / of it." "o / perfect / days of romance are over;" "on / and / on" "in / all / ages / eve" "for / ever / eve" "eve / again. / put down the story of this / see exactly what it comes to. / Eve / again," "eve" Added: CEND.
