I was searching for some cool posters that featured interesting diagrams, tables or charts. Here’s twelve. Which is your favorite?

Bible Timeline Chart from Bible Lights Publishing | Firsts in Science & Technology Wall Chart from synchronopedia.com | "Death and Taxes: A visual look at where your tax dollars go" from deviantart.com |
I think my favorite is the moon phase calendar for its simplicity.
The criteria I used for this list was I asked myself, “Would I want to hang this on my walls?” If you find any interesting diagram posters, please leave a link in the comments. Thanks.

some of the headers on these posters are pretty lame. I would cut the top off on the “Death and Taxes” and “Cloud Chart”. And I would trim off all four sides on the :Basic Nunchaku Kata” and “First Maps of the Internet.”
I’ve had the moon phase calendar before. That’s pretty cool.
I think they’re all great. If i had to pick one to hang on my wall, it would be the Basic Nunchaku Kata Poster. So when people see that poster, they would know not to mess with me, the Nunchaku Kata masta! kooo poow! I’m digging that 1980s (or 1970s) 3d effect on the headline, too. The poster is only $2.50, but they charge $8.00 to ship it. I hate that!
3rd place goes to: Geneology of Jesus 2nd place goes to: First map of the internet and…… 1st place goes to………. Death and Taxes (b/c I’m in the military… pretty ironic I think….. )
thank you for voting.
The graph of Napoleon’s march into and out of Russia has always amazed me. It plots the size of the French army from the time of leaving France until its return — against time *and* temperatur. http://uts.cc.utexas.edu/~jrubarth/gslis/lis385t.16/Napoleon/
Oh nice one, Clair! Here’s posters available of that wonderful diagram: http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/posters $14 for a 22 by 15 on archival paper. Not bad.
Here’s another cool poster. It’s 33 of the world’s tallest buildings–all drawn in vector format. http://skyscraperpage.com/33worldbuildings/
And another: The American Skyscraper Poster. 13″ high x 35″ wide $14.95 Although it looks a bit dated. http://www.chicagotogo.org/amskys.html And another: Chicago Bridges 40″ high x 17″ wide $14.95
oops, i forgot the link on the Bridges poster: http://www.chicagotogo.org/poschicbrid.html but they sold out, so here’s another link for the poster: http://www.urbanposters.com/item~p~13616~pnid~21~nid~1947.htm It’s by Craig Holmes
