Scope and Contents

XXI/4 This self-explanatory confection of collaged fragments of Dore's illustrations (with the addition of a gramophone horn taken from an American anthology called 'Have Fun with Collage) is one of the few pictures in the book that is an illustration in the standard sense. The goose-stepping is an obvious allusion to the military character of Dante's Devils. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
