Timeline Maps Mapping time has long been an interest of cartographers. Visualizing historical events in a timeline or chart or diagram is an effective way to show the rise and fall of empires and states, religious history, and important human and natural occurrences. We have over 100 examples in the Rumsey Map Collection, ranging in date from 1770 to 1967. We highlight a few below. Sebastian Adams' 1881 Synchronological Chart of Universal History is 23 feet long and shows 5,885 years of history, from 4004 B.C. to 1881 A.D. It is the longest timeline we have seen. Below is a close up detail of a very small part of the chart: (click on the title or the image to open up the full chart) Another detail covering a larger area with the chart turned sideways: Eugene Pick published the Tableau de L'Histoire Universelle in 1858 in two sheets, one for the Eastern Hemisphere (shown here) and one for the Western Hemisphere.

Un savant mélange qui lui a valu de travailler sur supports et projets variés : illustrations, t-shirts et même animation vidéo pour le clip de son groupe : The Dead Pirates, que je vous invite à découvrir au travers le clip qui suit.

One of my career goals is to elevate the quality of illustration in tech. The Awkward Teen My first step was research.

Top Ten Typefaces Used by Book Design Winners The American Association of University Presses (AAUP) holds an annual Book, Jacket & Journal Show which catalogs the best in book design and exhibits it around the country. The jurors for this year’s show include some important names in typography, including William Drentel and Jessica Helfand of Design Observer, and typographer and type designer Kent Lew, who created the Font Bureau’s lovely and literary text face, Whitman.
