If you've been to one of Tufte's evangelical roadshows [noel's notes], or read one of his 3 books [NYT book review], you may appreciate this collection of timetables from 1600 and later [lib of cong]. I found an appreciation of more recent printing methods (especially in terms of alignment). It's a bit easier to see the value of information design when viewing the efforts of another era. Perhaps more modern day info design falures are easier to block out or ignore because they are so pervasive and ingrained?
