The site you find here is to let you see more of the visual material as published of pictorial statistics as devised by Otto Neurath, the pioneer of visual language in the cause of communication, and continued after his death in 1945 by his wife Marie.

There is a large collection of the Neurath's work housed in the Department of Typography and Graphic Communication at the University of Reading.

I recommend Nancy Cartwright, Jordi Cat, Lola Fleck, Thomas E. Uebel, Otto Neurath Philosophy between Science and Politics Cambridge University Press, 1996.

Frank Hartmann and Erwin Bauer, Bildwersprache, Otto Neurath Visualisienrungen, Wiener Universitatsverlag, Vienna 2002

There are two excellent publications by the University of Reading but I recommend a really informative article in the rare publication FUTURE with an introduction by Paul Rotha written by Otto Neurath which gave a fascinating account of his development of the visual sense as a means of direct communication.

I have collected as many of the publications of the ISOTYPE Institute as possible including regular work for the FUTURE publication and also books for children on aspects of the World and its ways. I also attach one of Bob Godfrey’s inspired filmic reactions to the visual conventions of the ISOTYPE formula. I hope this will remind him of days at Madingley with Beryl.
