Ed. by Theo van Doesburg. 6th year, no. 1- 2 and 5-12. The Hague (up to and incl. no. 5)/ Leiden (remainder), (De Stijl), 1923-1925, 10 issues in 8 parts with consecutive paging (incl. double issues 6/7 and 10/11), 1-32 and 57-168 p. numbered in 2 columns, with 1 folding plate after Gräff, 13 pasted plates after Van Doesburg, El Lissitsky, Rietveld, Mondriaan, Man Ray, Brancusi and others, also 2 double-sided printed plates with many illustrations after Van Doesburg, C. van Eesteren and Rietveld, many illustrations after Domela Nieuwenhuis, Kiesler, Saga and others in the text, original uniform, stapled wrapper, previously plainly bound together with paper strip on spine.

Set occ. foxed/ browned, with the vertical middle fold through all issues due to mailing of loose issues. The red paper strip previously plainly binding the set has been pasted to the front cover of no. 1 and the back cover of no. 12 (here also traces/ staining to inside), the other nos. only with minor traces to spine. The first issue with "manco no. 3 en 4 van 6e jaargang" in pencil/ pen on front cover (these are the issues with contributions by Antony Kok himself). No. 1 and 5 torn in to spine (no. 1 also to middle fold). Almost certainly ex collection Antony Kok, one of the founders of the periodical, numbered "1151" on the first front cover and interesting annotations in pencil (e.g. the date the issues were received), probably by him. Ex collection Jan van Riel (1907-1988). This sixth year was issued across three years. The first issue of March 1923 is mostly taken up by an essay by Piet Mondriaan on the futuristic music of the time. Several interesting marginal annotations in pencil, e.g. "Is er dan in dat individualistisch karakter eenige aanwijzing van het universeele?" No. 10/11 includes the "Appel de Protestation". Dutch ambassador J. Loudon at Paris had recommended artist's group De Stijl for exhibition at the Exposition des Arts Décoratifs in Paris of 1925. The group was nevertheless rejected by the Dutch exhibition council, upon which the French offered exhibition space. De Stijl still refused to participate and organised its own protest exhibition. A cut-out tiny newspaper article ("21 dec. '24") is added here separately (total 8 parts). Also in this issue an image of the Rietveld Schröder House, with the name misspelled as Schrader.
