The International System OTYpographic Picture Education was an early infographical form, originated in the 1930s by Austrian philosopher and curator Otto Neurath “as a symbolic way of representing quantitative information via easily interpretable icons.” It’s eye-popping how modern these images can look while being fashioned from woodcuts and hand-printing methods. Gorgeous.
