About the Poster: This captivating series of six American posters was created in 1958 by artist Herbert Danska for the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). These posters delve into the realm of geophysics, exploring essential subjects still, if not more, relevant today such as Earth, The Oceans, The Poles, Weather and Climate, Sun and Earth, and Space.
Danska's artistic skill breathes life into these scientific concepts, providing viewers with a rich visual experience which is complemented by insightful commentary in a booklet published by the NAS, which you can find here.
What makes these posters truly remarkable is how their insights into climate dynamics and the impact of human activities foreshadow contemporary environmental concerns. As we grapple with pressing global challenges like climate change, the relevance of these posters only grows, serving as a reminder of the enduring importance of scientific exploration and understanding.
In good condition with some pinholes, creasing and ruffles around the margins (See photos). This series is a rare find and would look wonderful in any room. less
