眼球和照相機的類似: 耳和電話機的類似 (The ear is like a telephone and the eye is like a camera), Shanghai Xueyou Books and Art Club, 1933

In the 1930s, people were trying to understand the human body and how to depict its inner workings. This series of posters used modern day mechanical objects and tools to explain the body. This poster shows the anatomy of the eye and compares the eye to a camera. At the bottom another image shows the anatomy of the ear and compares the ear to a telephone.
