Summary:
This book is the first comprehensive history of graphic representations of time in Europe and the United States from 1450 to the present. The authors have crafted a lively history featuring fanciful characters and unexpected twists and turns. From medieval manuscripts to websites, this book features a wide variety of timelines that in their own unique ways—curving, crossing, branching—defy conventional thinking about the form. A fifty-four-foot-long timeline from 1753 is mounted on a scroll and encased in a protective box. Another timeline uses the different parts of the human body to show the genealogies of Jesus Christ and the rulers of Saxony.
