DescriptionThis is a series of educational science prints, drawn with various colors of ink on paper, and often textual captions are included to explain the visual components. There is an explanatory sheet of what is included in this series at the beginning [not photographed], and a key to one of the charts. These schematically rendered posters, with the first one being the only exception, are actually diagrams of the names on the list. All the posters are the exact same size.
