From the first and only edition, as issued in 1893, the second state of two with the keystone in black and the color stone in beige (grey-brown). The edition size was 65 examples (50 on wove and 15 on imitation Japon). According to Wittrock, the publisher Kleinmann annotated only part of the edition, and impressions with the red monogram stamp are "few." Wittrock refers to this piece as "uncommon." Seventeen impressions exist in public collections, including the Boston Public Library, Bremen and Kunstalle. Antigone is a tragedy by Sophocles written before or in 442 BC . The play is set in Thebes in the aftermath of the self-banishment of its king, Oedipus. Antigone is the daughter of the accidentally incestuous marriage between King Oedipus and his mother Jocasta (therefore, Antigone is also her father Oedipus's half-sister and, through her father, her mother Jocasta's granddaughter). She is the subject of a popular story in which she attempts to secure a respectable burial for her brother Polynices, even though he was a traitor to Thebes by the new ruler Creon.
