The foundations of mathematics; a contribution to the philosophy of geometry

The figures are spare line diagrams—lettered pencils of rays, a cube in outline, curved tessellating shapes—plus one hatched woodcut of segmented wood grain, giving designers clean geometric schematics and one dense linear texture.
