DUCHAMP (Marcel) - MICHAUX (Henri) - VERDET (André).
Drawing in Magical Art.
Paris: Galerie Rive Droite, [1958]. — Folio-sized booklet, 320 x 248: (2 ff.), cover designed by Marcel Duchamp. Stapled.

The cover, created for the occasion by Marcel Duchamp, features a handwritten calligram in red, signed in the lower right corner: around the word “MAGES” placed in the center of an oval, the letters “HOM, I, DOM, FRO, RA, PLU” combine to form “Hommages,” “Images,” “Dommages,” “Fromages,” “Ramages,” and “Plumages.”
