About the Item
Original vintage poster for the graphic analogy - Der Mensch Als Industriepalast / Man As Industrial Palace - by the German physician, scientist and illustrator Fritz Kahn (1888-1968). Fantastic industrial design featuring a human torso with the normal functions of life portrayed as technological processes with miniature workers working various machines to perform the body's tasks, including photography through the eyes, sitting in a library for understanding and working conveyor belts, with a system of cogs, pumps and pipes for carrying blood and food around the body. Fritz Kahn was most noted for his info-graphic works and regarded the human body as "the most competent machine in the world" but his books were banned and publicly burned when the Nazis took power in Germany; in 1933 Kahn moved to Palestine, then to France; in 1941 he moved to America with the help of his friend Albert Einstein.
