Cover of Karavan 1, 1934.

Karavan was a modernist magazine published in Stockholm. It succeeded Spektrum as to be the new forum for the 1930s avant-garde in Sweden, even though being exclusively devoted to literature. It came out in one number in 1934 followed by four in 1935. Edited by Artur Lundkvist. A large but not dominant part of the contents was devoted to surrealism.
