Von Stein was a painter and poster designer who brought his own personal elegance to his works. Although his compositions are very strict, and here, monumental, they also contain a very appealing Art Deco touch. His giant, sculptural depiction of Athena, goddess of wisdom, against detailed background of the cosmos, makes for an eye-catching spokesperson for this modern encyclopedia.
