The reason we want to illustrate many of our objects is due to the three-dimensional nature of them, illustrations allow us to communicate more detail and information, and they are often better for that purpose than actual photographs! Ultimately, we intend to illustrate a selected group from each typology for our monograpgh series. You can discover more about how we illustrate objects here.
