The first six books of the Elements of Euclid. Designed by Oliver Byrne.
“Disregarded as an oddity after its publication in 1847, Byrne’s Euclid has since been praised by both designers and mathematicians as one of the most beautiful books on mathematics ever produced. Byrne used primary colors to distinguish different planes; the result calls to mind de Stijl design and the paintings of Piet Mondrian.” - notes from the Cooper-Hewitt exhibit, “Saturation: the allure and science of color.”
