Close to the Main à Plume group, Raoul Ubac is present on the cover with a reproduction of Picasso's "Guidon et selle de vélo" photographed in the painter's studio. The original photographs of the works of art that fill the copy are probably by Raoul Ubac, at least the one of the Magritte painting with whom Ubac was very close.
