159, (1)pp., 8 plates. Lrg. 8vo. Orig. printed wraps., designed by Huelsenbeck. Issued in the autumn of 1920, just after the close of the Erste Internationale Dada Messe, the 'Dada Almanach' was "the first attempt to give an account of the movement's international activities, at least in Europe. Published on the initiative of Huelsenbeck, who was absent from the exhibition,.it contained important articles on the theory of Dadaism.valuable statements by the Dada Club and some pages by some less well-known Dadaists, such as Walter Mehring ('You banana-eaters and kayak people!'), sound and letter poems by Adon Lacroix, Man Ray's companion in New York, not to mention a highly ironical letter by the Dutch Dadaist Paul Citroën, dissuading his Dadaist partners from going to Holland. The volume was also distinguished by the French participation of Picabia, Ribemont-Dessaignes and Soupault, quite unexpected in Berlin; their contributions were presumably collected and sent on from Paris by Tristan Tzara. The latter, living in Paris with the Picabias since early January 1920, gave in the 'Dada Almanach' a scrupulous and electrifying account of the doings and publications of the Zürich Dadaists.one of the most dizzying documents in the history of the movement" (Dachy).
