Financial difficulties prevented the publication of the third volume, ready for printing. Despite its short-lived existence, the magazine had a decisive influence on Portuguese literature. On the occasion of its centenary, Gallimard Editions published a facsimile edition in French. The second issue reproduces four "resolutely futuristic" drawings by the painter Santa Rita as well as the famous phonetic poem Poemas sem suporte by Mario de Sá-Carneiro and Chuva obliqua, poemes interseccionistas by Fernando Pessoa.

Illustrations and texts by Pessoa , Santa Rita, Mario de Sa Carneiro, Raul Leal, Viloente de Cysneiros (Armando Cortes Rodrigues), and others

Very rare.
