Two maps representing the Western and Eastern hemispheres, with a diagram representing the population of Japan, China, and current-day North Korea and South Korea. Population is illustrated by the flags of each country. Map shows continents and coastlines, with the select countries highlighted. Title translates to: Independent states of East Asia. Color lithograph. Together, maps and diagram are 11 x 17 cm, on sheet 15 x 21 cm., Die bunte Welt. Mengenbilder für die jugend, by Otto Neurath, with illustrations by Gerd Arntz. Published by Veröffentlichungen des Gesellschafts- und Wirtschaftsmuseums (Social and Economic Museum), and Artur Wolf Verlag, in Vienna in 1929. First edition. Title translates to: The colorful world : Pictorial statistics for the youth. Bound in board with cover printed in color, with gray fabric spine and sewn binding. Includes a title page and explanatory texts describing the visual language used within the atlas. Comprised of 16 maps and 28 diagrams representing the ethnic, religious, industrial, agricultural, political, and climatic variations of the world, all depicted through data visualization. Atlas includes a focus on the impact of World War I on Europe. Die bunte Welt is the first book of philosopher and educator Otto Neurath’s designed for children. In 1923, Neurath founded the Gesellschafts- und Wirtschaftsmuseum (Museum of Society and Economy) in Vienna. To make the museum more engaging for visitors, he developed simplified graphic designs, emphasizing visual education. Neurath began working with the young graphic artist Gerd Arntz in 1926, who became the museum's graphic director from 1929 to 1934. Neurath and Arntz developed the “Vienna method” of pictorial representation of statistical facts. It was further developed with Marie Neurath into the ISOTYPE method (International System of Typographic Education). Through associated offices and activities, their work spread to the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Soviet Union, and United States. Die bunte Welt demonstrates how these visual methods can be easily understood by populations with little formal education, including children. Neurath's museum practices, and the books which embody the same principles, are still regarded today as pioneering achievements of educational work. Marie Neurath discussed Die bunte Welt in terms of workers' education. It was, she proposed, an example of how a body of factual information could be presented in a unified way, instead of piecemeal through various lectures and courses: “The great advantage of these pictures ... is that they are more rapidly grasped than words, that they cannot be so easily misunderstood, that they stick better in the memory, and that they awake and leave a clear impression.” Quotation from: https://isotyperevisited.org/2010/09/isotype-revisited.php
