BROODTHAERS (Marcel)
The conquest of space. An Atlas for Artists and the Military. Brux, Lebeer Hossmann, 1975, minuscula 4 × 2.5 cm, 35 p., br. cream paper cover printed in black and illustrated with a vignette, black cardboard slipcase (small black trace on cover due to slipcase). Original edition of 55 copies, unnumbered and uncommercialized, with the justification crossed out in red marker. This atlas plays with language, scale and function. The paradoxical nature of a pocket atlas intended for the military is clear: it is portable but useless. It consists of 32 country figures, each printed on a separate page, making them appear like islands. They are arranged alphabetically, not geographically. Extremely rare.
