It features information visualizations yesteryear pioneers of information graphics, such as Charles Minard, Henry Beck too John B.Sparks.
One of my personal favorites inwards this information visualization collection is Levi W. Yaggy's Geographical Definitions Illustrated. This vividly colorful educational nautical chart was designed to go displayed inwards a classroom. The nautical chart depicts examples of a broad arrive at of geographical features, such as deltas, estuaries too harbors.
Charles Minard was a pioneer of the role of graphics inwards technology scientific discipline too statistics. His nigh famous visualization was his flow-map of Napoleon's disastrous Russian campaign. Minard's flow-map of Napoleon's 1812 Russian drive isn't inwards the David Rumsey collection but the collection does convey Minard flow-maps showing global emigration inwards 1858, the Atlantic merchandise inwards wool too cotton too the movements of mineral fuels on railways too waterways.
In each of these maps scaled arrows are used to demo the administration too scale of the displace of goods and/or people.
John B. Sparks' Histomap of Evolution is a logarithmic timeline which visualizes 10 chiliad 1 chiliad 1000 years of evolution. The nautical chart was an accompaniment to John B. Sparks as ambitious Histomap, which condensed 4000 years of human action into 1 chart. The Histomap was five feet long too was sold inwards 1931, yesteryear Rand McNally, for $1.
This history of the globe starts at the function yesteryear of the Histomap inwards 2000 BC too progresses frontward inwards fourth dimension as you lot move downwards the chart. The width of the diverse 'states, nations too empires' equates to their 'relative power' through history.
