Sonnenbad! — The Effects of Sunlight on the Body

Sonnenbad! is a striking twentieth-century German scientific illustration combining photography, anatomy, and graphic information design. A woman stands against an alpine landscape with her arms raised above her head, while anatomical structures and a sequence of numbered pathways are superimposed across the body.

The heart and abdominal structures form the anatomical center of the composition, while twelve numbered routes visually interpret effects attributed to sunlight on the human body. The contrast between monochrome photography and diagrammatic overlays gives the page an unmistakably modern character. Its original German heading, explanatory caption, figure number, page number, and book-page presentation preserve the historical context of this unusual piece of visual health education.
