The fifteen issues of this illustrated magazine, published from April 1929 to April 1931, covered the following sections: “Doctrines ,” “Archaeology,” “Fine Arts,” “Ethnography,” and “Varieties.” The journal *Documents* aimed to be an up-to-date collection of the most characteristic documents of both the past and the present. It described itself as the Encyclopedia of the 20th Century. This formidable project sought to distinguish itself from rival, competing, or friendly journals, such as André Breton’s *La Révolution surréaliste*, Christian Zervos’s *Cahiers d’art*, P.-G. Van Hecke’s *Variétés*, or Georges Ribemont-Dessaignes’s *Bifur* ” (Georges Sebbag, “The World’s Most Unclothed Journal,” Introduction, *Bataille Leiris Einstein / Le Moment Documents April 1929–April 1931*, Jean-Michel Place, 2022). Each issue from the first year (Nos. 1–7) includes the complete English Supplement at the end. The spines of most issues have been reinforced with adhesive tape. Some soiling on the covers. Interior in good condition.
