A propos de cet article

FIRST EDITION, photographic and other illustrations, pp. 128, crown 8vo, original beige cloth, lettered in gilt to upper board and backstrip, lean to spine, series title lettered in blind to both boards, bookplate slightly crudely stuck down to flyleaf, dustjacket with a montage of Isotype chart and photograph to front panel, a few faint spots to flaps, small split at head of front flap-fold and slightly rubbed and chipped to extremities, very good.

The author was born Rosenblum in Lancashire to a father whose social concerns for Jewish education foreshadowed the work of her husband, William Emrys Williams (also editor-in-chief at Penguin) - she later became Lady Williams, following his knighthood in 1955, both of them garnering a CBE (in 1946 and 1963 respectively). Following her B.A. at the University of Manchester, where she and Williams met, she became professor of social economics at the University of London. Isotype, the International System of Typographic Picture Education, was developed by Otto Neurath during the 1920s in his native Austria alongside his wife Marie (née Reidemeister) and illustrator Gerd Arntz; the Neuraths fled Austria in the mid-1930s, and then to England. Otto Neurath died in the year of this work's publication, but his wife continued his work over the following decades.…
