Both the 1933 Czechoslovakian airline map/schedule and the 1985 Chinese railroad map/index in my Envisioning Information have long been favorites of mine (shown below).
It is nice to learn that Mark Lombardi spotted the images and used some of the display strategies described in the book.
Maya Lin’s Women’s Table at Yale also has some ideas growing out of Envisioning Information, which she talks about in her PBS interview with Bill Moyers.
