Color-coded, graphical proofs occur in this masterpiece of visual presentation and design. Text is dramatically reduced in favor of a strategy of visual thinking. Byrne’s full title reads: The First Six Books of the Elements of Euclid in which coloured diagrams and symbols are used instead of letters for the greater ease of learners. From the paper pop-ups in the 1570 English edition of Euclid (on display at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, Spring 2016) to this Victorian edition of Oliver Byrne, the geometry of Euclid seems to attract innovation in pedagogy and information design.
