> A copy of the exhibition catalog *Le Surrealisme en 1947* is in the

> In addition to the Duchamp chemise, there is another "sort-of" chemise
> and a slipcase, both covered in black paste paper with a design based on
> letters, some of which are clearly from the name of the publisher
> (Pierre ` Feu, Maeght). I haven't read anything about these additional
> enclosures in any of the descriptions I've found. My primary question is

> images of your copy, I d be most interested in making a visual comparison.
