Der Mensch als Industriepalast
This striking image is by the famed German physician Fritz Kahn, who created visual metaphors for the body and pioneered infographics. This famous image depicts the human body as an industrial plant with the stomach visualised as a conveyor belt and the spinal cord a telephone line. Kahn ended up in exile having been put on the banned books list following the rise of Nazi Germany after Kristalnacht.
