Historical context: This edition was issued during a complex time in European publishing history. The Albatross publishing house—based in Leipzig, Berlin, and Bologna—had taken over editorial control of the Tauchnitz series after Tauchnitz was acquired by the German printer Brandstetter. From 1934 onward, Albatross operated editorially from Paris, navigating the increasing censorship and political pressures of the time. Huxley, along with other prominent authors, had works that were frequently included on lists of banned books in Nazi Germany. As such, Albatross had to tread a careful line—exercising self-censorship not only in what they published, but also in how and where their books were distributed. Despite this fraught environment, this edition was successfully printed and released, making surviving copies—particularly signed ones—exceedingly rare.
