Janas said...: Hello, brother Owl, I'm glad to see you here.

This version was made for the English language edition (first published in 1969) in an attempt to adhere as closely as possible to the original typography and make-up of the second German edition (Bauhausbücher series, 1927).

Btw, I found this interesting document (Page 109):
