Sheila,
Fondren Library, Rice University, has a partial run of Derriere le 
miroir.  While our catalog does have a serial record for the title, 
there are also added entries.  If you do a key word search for the 
title, the catalog will retrieve
32 records for individual titles.  A very quick look indicates the 
pagination ranges from 7p - 83p (the latter being Hommage a Georges 
Braque #144-146), and the size usually 38 or 39cm; 40cm.  Issue #52 is a 
single sheet measuring 76x56cm.  We own the Ellsworth Kelly issue #149, 
but the catalog record does not mention a special edition.  A key word 
search of derriere le miroir and numero special in our database only 
retrieves 3 records.  Only 1 also bears a double issue number as well.  
The most important special issue is Hommage a Aime et Marguerite Maeght, 
Derriere le Miroir # 250.   This issue, as you will see from the 
information I have included from an OCLC record, will be the best source 
to answer your questions.

OCLC indicates that the archives staff of the Watson Library, 
Metropolitan Museum of Art created a "Catalog of issues no. 1-249 of 
Derriere le miroir".  The OCLC abstract states: Catalog entries for 
issues no 1-249 (déc. 1946/janv. 1947-nov. 1981) of Derrière le miroir, 
excerpted and photocopied from issue no 250 by the Thomas J. Watson 
Library, the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The notes state: *Bio/History:* Number 250 of Derrière le miroir was 
issued in August 1982 on the initiative and under the guidance of Aimé 
Maeght, and was entitled: Hommage à Aimé et Marguerite Maeght. It 
includes a catalog of all the previous issues of Derrière le miroir, 
interspersed with prints created for the special issue and excerpts from 
many of the texts included in the original issues.
