This portfolio is a facsimile of a collection of the watercolour designs for textiles and costume by Delaunay made between ca. 1915 to the mid-1920s. It includes poems by some of the poets of the avant garde and texts by Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay and Apollinaire, which praise Delaunay's work or relates to it in some way, reflecting the close relationship at that time between visual artists and writers. The facsimile represents the way in which, even at the time, artists such as Delaunay were recognised in Paris for their value to a wider public.
