Butor and Rosenberg wrote introductory essays to Steinberg's illustrations that feature viewers gazing at a cubist painting, photographs of people wearing Steinberg decorated paper bag masks, landscape, cityscapes, air mail motifs, cartoons with micrographic calligaphic markings, images involving music records, labyrinths, feigned ancient battles, pyramids, and bird-like people among others. Three hundred copies of the book were released with a signed lithograph; this copy is not part of that edition. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
