Graphic representation of the periodic table of chemical elements in the style of a symmetrical series table constructed as a quadrangle. This type of table was originated by Estonian-born German chemist Andreas von Antropoff (1878-1956) in 1926 and classified by chemist Edward G. Mazurs as Subtype IIIC3-6a in his seminal work Types of Graphic Representation of the Periodic System of Chemical Elements (1957). This illustration, likely adapted by Mazurs himself, appears to be a modified version of Figure 83 on page 147 of Mazurs' 1957 publication.
