Dalí created the 30 prints for this suite in 1933-34, under the direction of the publisher Albert Skira. The edition called for 210 copies. However, only approximately half the edition was created. The plates passed from Skira to another Parisian publisher, Henri Petiet, who then sold them to Pierre Argillet, who directed the publication of the current edition in 1973. This current edition completes the unfinished edition of 1934. Michler/Löpsinger 11-54; Field 34-2.
