A Chart of Biography (1765)

"A Chart of Biography" by Joseph Priestley, created in 1765, is an innovative timeline that maps the lifespans of over 2,000 prominent historical figures across various fields, such as politics, philosophy, and the arts. The chart uses a horizontal axis to represent time and vertical lines to denote individual lives, making it one of the earliest examples of a graphical method used to convey historical data visually. This work was groundbreaking in its ability to present complex temporal relationships and has influenced the development of modern data visualisation and infographics.
