Chart from King's Illustrated Portfolio of Our Country

W.C. King

1906

This chart was originally issued in King’s Illustrated Portfolio of Our Country (1906), a little-known volume consisting of 11 vivid, jam-packed, double-page charts and diagrams depicting different aspects of United States culture, economics, history, and politics, each accompanied by a page or two of explanatory text (verso). The linear nature of time, along with some well-known and some not so well-known events raises questions about how we conceptualize our past.

From the Collection of Dr. Mark Bell
