A dazzling Surrealist scenario, set in an original typography mixing three sizes of type, La Loi d’accomodation chez les borgnes offers a fine example of Picabia’s Surrealist production: “I ask each of my readers to stage, to project for himself on the screen of his imagination — a truly magical screen, incomparably superior to the poor black-and-white calico of cinemas — (…) all seats are the same price, and one may smoke without disturbing one’s neighbors”!
Wrapper slightly sunned.
