Other text contributions by i.a. Corneille, Dotremont, Edouard Jaeger, Bert Schierbeek, and Marcel Havrenne, and the issue is illustrated with children's pictures mixed up with reproductions of works by artists participating in the November 1949 Exhibition of International Experimental Art at Stedelijk, with slogans by Corneille appearing throughout.
