Remarques
Reading, p.40; Bool/ Broos p.58f; Vossoughian p.95. First edition of Neurath's most famous work on visual education, illustrated with Amtz's isotypes and one of the best examples of how Neurath and Arntz had succeeded in visualizing statistics. From the collection of P.J. de Kanter, secretary of the Nederlandsche Stichting voor Statistiek, w. his bookplate and owner's entry on first free endpaper.
