= Bolliger II, 480; III, 150 ("Sehr selten"); IV, 343; VI, 750; Raabe 34; Schwarz 32. "Mit Dada 3 verändert sich Gesicht und Geist der Zeitschrift von Grund auf. Das Format wird wesentlich vergrössert und vom Kunstdruck zu Zeitungspapier gewechselt. Die symmetrierte Typographie die ersten beiden Nummern wird zugunsten eines experimentierbesessenen Satzes aufgegeben, in der fast jeder Text in einer anderen Type gesetzt und der Satz nach eigenen, neuen Gesetzen quer - ja schräg in die Seite gestellt ist. In der Mitte der Zeitschrift wird zur weiteren Belebung ein anders farbiges Papier verwendet. An Stelle der leblosen Reproduktionen auf Kunstdruck treten Originalholzschnitte mit starker graphischer Wirkung (...). Die starre Gleichmässigkeit des Satzes wird durch intermittierende Buchstaben und Wörter in grösserem Drucksatz belebt und das Schriftbild aktiviert. Tzara stellte inzwischen die Verbindung den gärenden Kräften in Paris her. P.-A. Birot, Dermée und Reverdy um "Nord Sud" und "Sic" sind Mitarbeiter geworden. Picabia kam nach Zürich und ist nun aktiver Mitkämpfer. Zwischen die französicher Texte sind deutsche Verse van Hardekopf, Van Hoddis und ein Artikel von Huelsenbeck über "Die Arbeiten von Hans Arp" gestreut. Dann die Zeitschrift anerkennt keine Landes- noch Sprachgrenze. Der Widerhall der Zeitschrift ist gewaltig. André Breton beschreibt das Echo in Paris "Mais c'est seulement Dada 3 parvenu à Paris au début de 1919, qui metra le fau aux poudres. Le "Manifest Dada 1918" de Tzara, sur lequel il s'ouvre est violemment explosif. Il proclame la rupture de l'art avec la logique. La nécessité d'une grand travail négatif à accomplir..." (...) Das Zeichen is gegeben. In der nächsten Nummer (...) werden wir Aragon, Breton, Ribemont-Dessaignes und Soupault under den Mitarbeitern finden. Dada is nach Paris übergesprungen!" (Bolliger II, 480).

= Issue no.1 of the anarchistic and dadaistic periodical Der Dada, printed on red paper. With contributions by A. BAADER, R. HÜLSENBECK and T. TZARA. "After editing the unique issue of "Club Dada" with Huelsenbeck and Jung in 1918, Hausmann teamed up with Baader and Huelsenbeck to bring out "Der Dada" as the principal organ of the Berlin Dadas in the summer of 1919. [This] first number [two more were published in 1919/1920] is largely literary in content (apart from the four abstract woodcuts by Hausmann (...)), [but] its cover, designed by Hausmann and Baader, hints at typographical experimentation to come: Hebrew characters jostle with vignettes clipped from a dictionary and a variety of typefaces producing an effect of arranged disorder. (...) Brief pieces by Baader, Hausmann and Tzara provide interesting asides on the differences between German and French Dada, the former replete with mock hierarchies (...), commands, titles, honorifics; the latter with scatological assaults on the church, French tradition and culture". (Ex Libris, cat.10, 1983, no.174/175). Bollinger III, 159/ 160 ("Sehr Selten"); Raabe 78; Schwarz 33; Andel p.147.

"Geachte mijnheer Bonset, U kunt misschien mijn verwondering begrijpen, toen ik vanmorgen uw brief doorgestuurd v.h. van Abbe-Museum ontving. Mijn man heeft nooit geweten dat er een familie Bonset bestaat! Het zou hem zeer zeker geamuseerd hebben dit destijds te vernemen! Hij had deze naam zelf uitgevonden ± vóór 1920. - Nooit heeft iemand tot zijn dood in 1931 geweten dat I.K.Bonset en Theo van Doesburg dezelfde persoon was. Hij heeft zeer zeker uw oom Jacques Bonset niet gekend. (...)".

= Hoek 682 (w. ill.);Purivs/ De Jong p.97; K. Schippers, Holland Dada p.54ff (w. ill.): "Op 13 september 1922 schreef Kurt Schwitters vanuit Hannover een brief aan Theo van Doesburg, die nog in Weimar woonde, waarin hij ingaat op het voorstel van de Stijl-kunstenaar om een dada-veldtocht in Nederland te houden. (...). Aan de hand van verslagen in de krant is het mogelijk het programma van die eerste avond te reconstrueren [10 january 1923, Haagsche Kunstkring, Binnenhof 8]. Op het toneel staat een tafeltje met een schemerlamp en een glaasje water erop. Aan dat tafeltje zit Theo van Doesburg, gekleed in een zwart pak en een zwart hemd. Hij draagt een witte gebreide das, witte zijden sokken, zwarte lakschoenen en in een oog klemt hij een monocle. (...). Van Doesburg begon zijn door De Stijl voor deze tournee apart uitgegeven manifest Wat is Dada? (1923) te lezen, waarbij Kurt Schwitters, die achterin de zaal zat - niemand kende hem -, zijn redevoering van tijd tot tijd met krachtig geblaf onderbrak. Schwitters zou later schrijven dat hij op teken van Van Doesburg - het drinken van een slokje water - voor de eerste keer zou blaffen en wel om het dadaïsme te demonstreren en ook omdat hij nog geen woord Nederlands kende".
