Studley writes in his introduction that Wittgenstein 1899-1951 published only one philosophical work in his lifetime, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, written while a Prisoner of War in 1918. The text for this book was written during the last 18 month of his life. The student designer selected a remark or fragment of a remark to interpret as a typographic composition within the constraints of the type collection of the press. This book was selected by The American Institute of Graphic Arts as one of the 50 best designed books of 1995 (Rethinking Design No.3). -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
