Swiss-born Warja Lavater moved to New York City in 1958 where she began designing scientific illustrations for Dell Publishing Visual series. It was at this time that Honegger-Lavater came under the influence of American street advertising and began using pictograms as graphic representations of linguistic elements in her works. Her books often contain a legend listing the meanings of the various symbols. They then proceed chronologically with the book unfolding and the story being told entirely by using the symbols and no words.
