This is a poster for "Merz 1 Holland Dada" by Kurt Schwitters, a key figure in the Dada movement. It's characterized by a bold, typographic design that's typical of Dada's anti-establishment and avant-garde aesthetic.

Here's a breakdown of the elements:

• Main Title: The large, black "MERZ" dominates the top of the poster. The word "MERZ" was coined by Kurt Schwitters and used to represent his individual brand of Dada.
• Number and Geographical Location: "1" is directly below MERZ, with "HOLLAND" under it. These elements indicate the first edition or issue of this publication and its subject matter.
• Graphic Elements: There are a few stylized graphic elements, including a large "X" with the word "DA" repeated near each arm of the X, and a black square.
• DADA: At the bottom, the word "DADA" is prominently displayed, reinforcing the poster's connection to the Dada art movement.
• Text at the Bottom: The lower part of the poster contains further details:
  • The date: "JANUAR 1923" (January 1923).
  • The publisher: "HERAUSGEBER: KURT SCHWITTERS" (Publisher: Kurt Schwitters).
  • Location: "HANNOVER • WALDHAUSENSTRASSE 5" (Hannover, Waldhausenstrasse 5).
• Additional information: At the top, additional information in the German language are written to display content.
• Hand Graphic At the bottom, there is a hand in a unique design.

Overall Impression: The poster's design is deliberately chaotic, using a mix of large, bold fonts, limited color, and a seemingly random arrangement of elements. This chaotic aesthetic is a hallmark of Dadaism, which sought to challenge traditional artistic values and explore themes of absurdity and anti-war sentiment. It's a prime example of how Dada artists used typography and graphic design to express their radical ideas.
