Antwerp, Van Arteveldestraat, 1934. A small, but rare book on the industrial furniture trades in interwar Belgium. While this book does not appear to be formally affiliated with the Vienna Method of illustration, the influence is unmistakable. the 14 pages of charts at the back use pictorial represntations to bring the statistc to life in the exact manner that Otto Neurath and Gerd Arntz has just perfected. The use of the red and black for the charts is also a nod to Neurath's International picture language from 1936. Slightly browned by age with a handul of fox marks, but overall a clean, tight copy. Extreme,ly rare with OCL listing three copies, all in Belgium.
