Photograph of smoking wine bottle without celestial background and photograph of first page from Duchamp's French military booklet. For cover of View (New York) Marcel Duchamp Number, V, no. 1, circa 1945

This subseries primarily contains documention of several of Duchamp's design projects for magazine and exhibition catalog covers. Of particular note are 39 film stills of lovers kissing used by Duchamp as a model for his 1945 "Objects of My Affection" catalog cover, and two photographs, one of Duchamp's French military booklet and the other of a smoking wine bottle, which document separate elements Duchamp combined in his cover for the Duchamp issue of View magazine. The subseries also includes the bookplate Duchamp designed for the Mary Reynolds Collection and a graphite diagram of a portion of Duchamp's 1913 "Bachelor Apparatus," which he presumably sketched in order to plan for the work's reproduction in "The Green Box."
