Scope and Contents

Bohn analyzes Apollinaire's exhibition catalog dealing with Leopold Survage and Irene Lagut using calligrams of prose as the vehicle for his critique. Bohn is especially intrigued with the rare handcolored edition of the catalog that he mentions is owned by the Columbia University rare book collection; it was the only copy he was able to find. Just after publication of his book, Bohn visited the Sackner Archive and learned of its handcolored edition - too late to include in the book. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
