It notably features works by Hans Bellmer, Man Ray, André Kertész, Brassaï, Marcel Duchamp, René Magritte, Salvador Dalí, Max Ernst, André Breton, Raoul Ubac, Dora Maar, and Jacques-André Boiffard.

Dust jacket present, with fairly numerous scratches and scuffs on the back cover, some signs of wear, and minor damage to the edges; the front cover is in significantly better condition.
