Poster: Napoleon's MarchProbably the best statistical graphic ever drawn, this map by Charles Joseph Minard portrays the losses suffered by Napoleon's army in the Russian campaign of 1812. Beginning at the Polish-Russian border, the thick band shows the size of the army at each position. The path of Napoleon's retreat from Moscow in the bitterly cold winter is depicted by the dark lower band, which is tied to temperature and time scales. Exquisitely printed in two colors on fine archival paper, 22 by 15. Minard's sources. Minard's biography.

In corporate and government bureaucracies, the standard method for making a presentation is
to talk about a list of points organized onto slides projected up on the wall. For many years,
overhead projectors lit up transparencies, and slide projectors showed high-resolution 35mm
slides. Now "slideware" computer programs for presentations are nearly everywhere. Early in
the 21st century, several hundred million copies of Microsoft PowerPoint were turning out
trillions of slides each year.
