Edward Tufte's - The March to Moscow
This is often considered the best statistical graph ever drawn. The graphic depicts the fate of Napoleon’s army on its ill-fated Russian campaign during the winter of 1812-1813. The tan-colored band represents the march toward Moscow and the black-colored band represents the retreat back toward France...Brilliant in its simplicity and clarity...
