The wraps are very slightly darkened & soiled. The top corner of the front wrap is lightly bumped. 64 pages. Profuse illustrations & visual poems in red & white. Near fine.

This issue of Uj Holgyfutar (New Ladies' Messenger) was banned on account of its satirical cover. Csaba Pakozdy writing on the relationship between judgments of the European Court of Human Rights on censorship and the national law in Hungary [Miskole Journal of International Law, Vol. 3, No. 3, 2006, pp. 73-84] refers to the case: "In November 1991, the Capital Court took a decision in the case of the periodical entitled Uj Holgyfutar in which it prohibited, after the suspension of the publication by the prosecutor general's office, the public publication of the leap number of 1990/1991 of the said periodical with reference to the offense of morals. The illustration of the cover page of the periodical represented the Hungarian Saint Crown in the company of obscene figures what [which] the Capital Court of first instance found offensive to morals..According to the court, the representation of nudity on the cover page..offended morals and 'the taste, prudency and moral sense of those people who bow their head in front of a church, make the sign of the cross in front of a crucifix, and who do this and did this in every social system whether it is a dictatorship or a democracy'.."

The editor of the magazine, Endre Szkarosi was born in Budapest in 1952. A poet, performer and teacher, he has organized and participated in many experimental activities in the fields of poetry, theatre, video and multimedia. The magazine was designed by Bernath /Y/ Sandor. The text is in Hungarian.

As he was growing up he cultivated an interest in the arts, especially poetry, photography and cinema, but also pursued scientific studies, graduating in physics at the Polytechnic in Milan. He made his artistic debut as a visual poet in 1965. As he began to present solo shows/exhibitions, Vaccari developed the idea of a "real-time display"--a show which changed through time and was open to feedback and outside stimuli and to interaction with the viewers. Among other real-time displays, he presented "Real-time display no. 19: Codemondo" at the Venice Biennale in 1980. Scarce. Good .
