Avery Classics copy 1: variant state with plates on p. 174 and 175 depicting the Blockhaus in Sommerfeld, corresponding to the captions and the table of contents; possibly this is a later corrected state, but later annotations inside front cover describe this as the 1st state and "uncensored."

Avery Classics copy 2: variant state with alternate plates on p. 174 and 175, duplicating the images on p. 196 (Komposition abstrakter Formen 1917) and 185 (Kinderbild 1922) respectively, but with the captions describing the Blockhaus in Sommerfeld printed over the mismatched images. Table of contents also indicates these pages as depicting the Blockhaus in Sommerfeld. Possibly this is an earlier uncorrected state, but later annotations inside front cover describe this as the 2nd state and "censored."

Avery Classics copy 2: From the library of R. A. Melch, with his ownership stamp.
