Bodyscape
The wonderful cover of a graphic wheel from 1948
Volvelles, or graphic wheels, are devices consisting of a series of movable discs that collate a large amount of information into a compact delivery device. The contents of Bodyscope—shown here in its fourth edition—are presented on four, pierced card sleeves, with a turning disc inside.
