[München: Akademie für das Graphische Gewerbe, 1961]
by SCHWITTERS, Kurt, Kate Steinitz, Theo van Doesburg
[München: Akademie für das Graphische Gewerbe, 1961]. Facsimile of the 1925 Hannover edition. Oblong octavo (20cm x 24cm); printed card wrappers; [12pp]. Inscribed inside front cover: "To the Edelsteins! / Kate gratefully," dated February 1969. Mild toning to text, still a tight, clean copy, Near Fine.
A high-quality facsimile, matching the original colors and dimensions of this famous avant-garde children's book, a three-way collaboration between Steinitz, Schwitters and van Doesburg. The text, which is entirely set in figurative type in a style merging Dada and De Stijl, tells the story of a beleaguered scarecrow who is mocked by the birds and beaten by the farmer who built him. This copy inscribed by co-creator Steinitz while librarian of the Elmer Belt Library at UCLA. (Inventory #: 82003)
