New York: VVV, 1944. 11 inches. 86,[12] pp. including numerous in-text images, plus 7 tinted half-page plates and double-leaf work comprising 2 tinted plates, the first die-cut to reveal the second, which is also embossed. In English and French. Light soiling in covers, light foxing in outer leaves, some offsetting in and from plates. Very good to near fine. The substantial fourth and final issue of the important U.S.-based Surrealist magazine, with contributions by more than two dozen artists, poets, and scholars in the realms of myth, dream, and theory. Among the visual pieces in this issue is Duchamp's ALLEGORIE DE GENRE, in which an embossed plate showing strips of fabric containing slivered stars and red bloody stripes is framed by a blue-tinted plate die-cut in the profile of George Washington. The final twelve pages, printed on green paper, contain an index of contributors to all four issues of the magazine. The cover features an image of a vagina dentata by Roberto Matta.
