  • <blockquote> <p>This note identifies the previously untraced English text printed at an angle beneath Alfred Stieglitz’s photograph in the single 1921 issue of <em>New York Dada</em>. By comparing the magazine page with a 1909 French language textbook, <em>French Verbs and Verbal Idioms in Speech</em> by Baptiste and Émile Jules Méras, it shows that the body of the angled passage is constructed from sentences 9–43 of Lesson XXIX (pp. 48–49), reproduced in sequence with small omissions and alterations. The larger phrases “Watch your step!” and “Cut out dadadynamic stuff!” do not appear in the book and seem to have been added independently as headlines. The note is strictly limited to presenting this source identification as an archival finding, without offering an interpretation of its significance for Duchamp, Stieglitz, or <em>New York Dada</em>.</p> </blockquote>
