Our project draws on material from the Otto and Marie Neurath Isotype Collection.\u00a0 This collection holds copies of all the children\u2019s books produced the Marie Neurath and her team when they were working in London in the 1950s and 1960s.<\/p>\n

We are also fortunate to have archival material that tells us how the books were designed.\u00a0 We know, for example, that it involved teamwork \u2013 writers, editors and illustrators working together. This table shows the roles and some of the people involved in the making of the Visual History series (1948):<\/p>\n

\u00a0VH process table<\/a><\/p>\n

The archives contain correspondence, notes, sketches, dummies of books, often annotated by Marie Neurath, that evidence the stages in the design process. We will display some of this material at the \u2018Picturing Science\u2019 exhibition at House of Illustration in summer 2019.<\/p>\n
