Contributors include: Kay Boyle, James Joyce, Franz Kafka, Kurt Schwitters, Gertrude Stein. Bound in black cloth over a "modernistic design by Albert Schiller" originally an insert in the journal The American Printer, September 1927. Rubbing to extremities, and sunning to edges of boards. ".Transition.was founded in 1927 by Maria McDonald and her husband Eugene Jolas and published in Paris.[1] They were later assisted by editors Elliot Paul (April 1927 March 1928), Robert Sage (October 1927 Fall 1928), and James Johnson Sweeney (June 1936 May 1938)." "The literary journal was intended as an outlet for experimental writing and featured modernist, surrealist and other linguistically innovative writing and also contributions by visual artists, critics, and political activists. It ran until spring 1938. A total of 27 issues were produced. It was distributed primarily through Shakespeare and Company, the Paris bookstore run by Sylvia Beach.[2] While it originally almost exclusively featured poetic experimentalists, it later accepted contributions from sculptors, civil rights activists, carvers, critics, and cartoonists. While Jolas's program for his magazine was outwardly focused on literature, his comments in his essay "A New Vocabulary" indicate that he considered visual art's inventiveness to be a model for the possibilities of the poetic word. He wrote, "While painting . . . has proceeded to rid itself of the descriptive, done away with classical perspective, has tried more and more to attain a purity of abstract idealism, should the art of the word remain static " [Wikipedia sources: Travis Kurowski (2008); Alice Neumann (2004); Eugene Jolas (1927 & 1929)].
