A complete issue, with noted faults. Green cover of dancing figure is paper cut-out was designed by Matisse and printed on horribly thin paper. Most all I have ever seen are defective in one way or another, especially along the spine. This copy has the spine of the outer sheet in better than average condition and could be nicely restored. The green print is lightly soiled. ""Le présent numéro de Verve ... réunit des œuvres de Henri Matisse, exécutées pendant ces quatre dernières années"--Page [4]./ "Henri Matisse," by André Rouveyre: p. 35-55." Scace as a complate issue with a decent though not perfect cover.
