Notes
The three-flap folder and each sheet bear the original red ink stamp imprint of the artist Endre Tót:
"documents make me glad – Tótaljoy" (with the artist’s face in the center of the stamp).
An exception: the document addressed to Cosey Fanni Tutti, dated 18.12.1975, features a black ink stamp imprint reading "I am glad if I can stamp".
Is this an original stamp imprint, or was the imprint part of the original letter reproduced for the edition?
