Top and perspective views of a graphic representation of the periodic table of chemical elements in the style of a helix on a cone. While the design of this table in unattributed, it bears some similarity to Types IIA2-7 and IIIA3-6 as classified by chemist Edward G. Mazurs in his seminal work Types of Graphic Representation of the Periodic System of Chemical Elements (1957) and was likely sketched by Mazurs during the preparation of that volume.
