Biographical/historical: Although the story of Turandot is said to have its roots in a Persian tale, the immediate source of inspiration for this print has not yet been identified. Friedrich von Schiller treated the tale in his play Turandot, Prinzessin von China (1801), and a number of composers adapted it in operas and incidental music. Giacomo Puccini's opera, perhaps the best known version of the theme, did not appear until 1926.
Biographical/historical: Eduard Ille was a German painter, illustrator, and caricaturist.
