The second, expanded edition of Bieble's surrealistic poems from the years 1923-1928 (1st ed., 1925, E.Jánská, design O.Fuchs and C.Bouda, 800 copies), here for the first time with Teige's typographical compositions, printed in red and black on yellow stock, illustrating his concept of modern illumination: new typography is not art, nor is it black. The black, grey and white ideal of the renaissance printing belongs to the past and, in the main polygraphical discipline, colour fulfills an ever more important role (Panorama, 12, 1934). The composition differ from the companian volume S lodi...., in using more decorative elements: stars, braces, etc. The cover design, however, printed in brown and blue on light blue stock, is strictly constructivist and incorporates both front and black cover, possibly inspired by El Lissitzkys cover for Wendingen (1921, however not published until December 1922 / January 1923). The title page, printed in red and black, is also different in being an almost functional design.(Odeon, 46). 1.000
