Classic infographic from 1823!


Here's a classic from 1823!  It a hand drawn infographic titled "Comparative Heights of the Principal Mountains and Lengths of the Principal Rivers of The World" by WR Gardner.  The high resolution image is on Flickr, but the post about the image is on bibliodyssey.blogspot.com.

This one makes a great poster!  Thanks Roi for sharing in the comments.

    Be welcome.

    You may enjoy the graphic pieces of La Mosca (a design studio in Barcelona). They were doing those amazing infographics for a newspaper weekly. I specially like that one whith the cooking of the Suquet (a stew explained in a infographic!). Really inspiring job...
