This is a small black & white illustration dated 1907, size approx. 6"x9". There is printing on the reverse, it says,

Pandora - From a Painting - Pandora means
the "all-gifted woman,"  so-called because all the Gods of the Ancient Mythology bestowed upon her some gift to enhance her charms.  To her was given a box which contained all the ills to which flesh is heir.  This so excited the curiosity of Epimetheus her husband that he opened it with dire result.  Fortunately, however, it was closed in time to prevent the escape of Hope, which still "springs eternal in the human breast".  This is one of the many different versions of the old Legend.
