First appearance of the English translation and typographic interpretation of Duchamp's Green Box (La Mariée mise à nu par ses célibataires même (Boîte verte), a collection of 94 documents explaining the development and function of ""The Large Glass,"" assembled between 1915 and 1923. During the 1930s Duchamp oversaw the first printed edition of the Green Box, with each of the 94 original notes meticulously reproduced in collotype in exact facsimile and issued loose in a green box. By 1956, the British artist Richard Hamilton had worked through the notes to develop a diagram of the areas in the glass to which he believed the subject of each notes related. And in 1960, Hamilton and George Heard Hamilton, professor of art history at Yale, produced this English translation of the Green Box, using typography, layout, and graphic design to communicate the intent of the original documents. This copy with a contemporary inscription by Duchamp in pen on the title page: “For Jenny, not l’ouvriêre et affectueusement Marcel Duchamp 1960”.
