In the Beginning is apparently the second color lithographic edition created for the Circle Fine Art Corporation by New Yorker art editor Lee Lorenz. It was struck in January 1990 at the American Atelier in New York and released in November of that year. It bears the edition code LLG 101, whereas Weight Watcher was LLG 100. The lithograph is accompanied by documentation which describes how the edition was created. The lithograph itself is of course a play on Michelangelo's Creation of Adam from the Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Note: Evidently this is redrawn from a New Yorker cartoon, but when did it appear in the magazine? My search skills have come up short today.
