| The Temple Of Time |
American educator Emma Willard understood the power of visualising data, presenting facts and stories in the form of graphics and charts – much like WB Du Bois’s work with population and race, and how Florence Nightingale used visual data to save lives.
In the Temple of Time (image above) the one-point perspective also invited students in to inhabit the past, laying out information in a kind of memory palace that would help them form a larger, coherent picture of world history. Readers, in other words, were invited into the palace, so they too could stand at moments in world history.
