Scope and Contents

The drawings are portaits of unidentified French writers. The palindromes, with the exception of the first one, were composed by Satie. The photographs are portraits of several Lettristes including Isou, Devaux, Sabatier and Satie. Each photograph is a reversed double image, placed one next to the other, creating a mirror image effect and thus a visual palindrome. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
