![The back cover of a square-format magazine with an abstract image in black, red and off-white in the reductive, Neoplasticist style inspired by the architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The simplified composition features horizontal and vertical red bars against a black background. Two parallel horizontal bars near the top third of the cover are accented with an off-white reveal, the top line with stylized, left-justified typography [H.Th.W.], for the architect and cover designer H. Th. Wijdeveld, and the adjacent line below with the year [1925] in between red vertical bars. Shorter red, parallel vertical bars of equal height and spacing line the bottom of the cover, which has a partial red border on the left and bottom. Six small round holes on the right margin are threaded with black string, ostensibly holding the periodical together. There are light signs of wear and tear along the edges.]( https://images.collection.cooperhewitt.org/325965_363a11304e13f0d4_b.jpg

![The front cover of a square-format magazine with an abstract image featuring horizontal and vertical red bars with off-white shadow accents against a black background in the reductive, Neoplasticist style inspired by the architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The simplified composition features red bars in a squared, backward C-shape. Parallel horizontal bars near the top third of the cover are accented with an off-white reveal with stylized, right-justified red typography [Wendingen], the name of the decorating periodical. The bottom right corner lists, in three rows, the name of the architect [Frank Lloyd Wright] in red, whose work is featured in the issue. In smaller, black stylized print in the bottom right corder is the text [Aflevering] -- meaning 'delivered' in Dutch -- next to red Roman numerals [III], representing the third issue. The lettering gives the impression of cantlevered, flat roof, Wright-inspired buildings. Six small round holes on the left margin are threaded with black string, ostensibly holding the periodical together. There are light signs of wear and tear along the edges.](https://images.collection.cooperhewitt.org/325937_f0bb78225954cf45_n.jpg "Object ID #907214039")
