Biographische Miniaturbilder
Biographische Miniaturbilder is a German biographical miniature book by August W. Grube, published by Friedrich Brandstetter in 1856 for a general reading public. Its single picture is a plain line diagram of a dark sphere labelled X with lettered rays A through H fanning out to the left and right and crossing at points m, n and o. A designer might take its clean, minimal schematic style and the rhythm of converging straight lines for an austere technical graphic.
