These elements include images of Schwitters, Trinkewitz, Kolar, beautiful women, envelopes, receipts, maps, magazine pages, stamps etc. The verso has a signature dated 1984 at the Visual Poetry Conference in Saarbruchen, Germany.

This work was exhibited in the Agnes Scott College Gallery, Atlanta, in January 2001. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
