About

A research library of picture language

Isotype books, charts and symbols, and the work of the practitioners who followed: IZOSTAT in Moscow, Rudolf Modley and Pictorial Statistics in New York, the WPA Graphic Unit, György Markos in Budapest, the Mexican Isotype and others. Built from a private research collection for visual researchers.

Rights

Everything here is free and open for research and teaching. Credit the original makers and publishers when you reuse an image. If you hold rights in something shown here and want it changed or removed, contact Jason Forrest Agency.

Status

The Isotype Books collection is online first. Other practitioners, research and pamphlets follow, then symbols and a timeline.
