Dealer Notes
This innovative educational work covered the first six books of Euclid’s elements which were standard fare on the mathematics curriculum of the time. Byrne’s innovative approach to the representation of the formulae is now considered a precursor to the graphic modernist experiments from the Bauhaus movement.
