Description

Euclid's Elements: Complete 14-Poster Collection | A2 Mathematical Art Set

The complete visual journey through Euclid's Elements—all fourteen A2 posters presenting the entirety of history's most influential mathematical text in Oliver Byrne's revolutionary color-coded style. This museum-quality collection represents the world's first complete visual interpretation of all thirteen books of Euclid, plus the iconic cover design.

A Comprehensive Mathematical Collection

This exclusive set brings together every book of Euclid's Elements in striking visual form, from the foundational propositions of plane geometry through the sublime perfection of the Platonic solids. Acquiring all fourteen posters as a complete collection offers both aesthetic coherence and economic value for serious collectors, educational institutions, and mathematics enthusiasts.

What's Included: All 14 Posters

About This Unprecedented Project

In 1847, Irish mathematician Oliver Byrne published a revolutionary visual interpretation of the first six books of Euclid's Elements. Kronecker Wallis spent years working with mathematical experts, university professors, and post-doctoral researchers to complete what Byrne left unfinished—extending his visual methodology across all thirteen books. This complete 14-poster set represents that historic achievement: a mathematical publication that has never existed before and may never be created again.

Complement your collection with the comprehensive bound edition of Euclid's Elements: Completing Oliver Byrne's Work.

"Euclid's Elements has been referred to as the most successful and influential textbook ever written. It was one of the very earliest mathematical works to be printed after the invention of the printing press and has been estimated to be second only to the Bible in the number of editions published since the first printing in 1482."
