Delivery fee: Select location
After the end of the Second World War, Marie Neurath and her team at the Isotype Institute in London produced some of the most visually striking and innovative information books of the twentieth century. Neurath’s books for young people were illustrated and designed using the principles of Isotype to inspire the curiosity and engagement of children.
This book draws on the Otto and Marie Neurath Isotype Collection that was given by Marie Neurath to the University of Reading in the early 1970s. Including draft texts with annotations from the editorial team, page layouts, illustration sketches and developed drawings, print production details and proofs, the collection provides considerable insight into how the books were designed and produced.
A fascinating exploration of Neurath''s workings and correspondence, this book explores the challenges Neurath encountered as a woman émigré designer in London, and charts how her ground-breaking books were made.
