Science for everyone

Designed by Aldo Mazza, (1880-1964)

"The illustrator of this striking cover takes full advantage of the image of a chic eye catching young woman to set off the effect of scientific perspective that is far more arresting. While we see her body, we also see right through it, to her bones. The promise of science as superior knowledge is given a clear graphic form. This is how graphic design extends the realm of knowledge by visual means" (GDHCG).
