Considered one of the most important "little magazines" of the interwar period, this fragile publication not only contained important works in surrealism, and world literature, but was also one of the rare publications to prioritize photography, with images by young and still largely unknown artists such as Kertész, Krull, and Moholy-Nagy. Contains early photogravures by Germaine Krull, André Kertész, Eli Lotar, Tina Modotti, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, and Maurice Tabard. Several unopened pages.
