The Best Statistical Graphic Ever Drawn

Napoleon's 1812 Russian Campaign

Flowing Data is a website dedicated to infographics. They cover the latest and greatest productions, for example, the growth of facebook, legal drinking ages, or this social weather map. One of the best infographics I’ve ever seen was an Economist magazine republishing of Charles Joseph Minard’s graphic on Napoleon’s Russian campaign of 1812. The American statistician Edward Tufte calls  it “the best statistical graphic ever drawn”.
