The same cover in green, with a small standing figure

The layout repeats in green instead of orange: press machinery printed pale down the left edge, a hatted figure leaning in from the top right with a raised finger, and the title stacked in heavy black sans-serif beneath. Green rules cross the lower half into panels. A small line-drawn child stands at the left with both hands to its face, a numbered list of three tales sits beside it, and a bearded profile is drawn at the right among loose squiggles. The publisher's name runs vertically up the left edge, and a solid black square sits low against it.

Kurt Schwitters (1887–1948) was a German artist who built an entire practice from what other people threw away. From 1919 he gave the name Merz to his collages and assemblages, composing tram tickets, wrappers, printed scraps and worn paper into taut abstract structures, and extending the idea into poetry, typography and the architectural Merzbau in his Hanover house. Close to Dada without ever formally joining it, he was condemned as degenerate by the Nazi regime and fled in 1937 to Norway and then to Britain, where he died in Kendal. His work is held by the Museum of Modern Art, Tate and the Sprengel Museum Hannover.
