Appears to be quite rare. Beautifully decorated colour wrappers done by the artist George Valmier in 1923. Published by Editions De L’Effort Moderne, Paris by the Director Léonce Rosenberg, owner of the influential Paris gallery of the same name. Rosenberg was not only a gallery owner, but a good friend and supporter of Parisian artists of the day and this publication was begun by him to contribute to a lively discussion of contemporary artistic questions in the 1920’s. A very important periodical.
