Item Description

This print is designed to be printed and displayed at 32″x48″. It is also available at 24″x36″, but please note that at the smaller size the text, though legible, is significantly smaller.

This large-scale print is like nothing else available on the history of the American presidency. It places each president in historical context, visualizing a remarkable range of political, social, and economic measures to succinctly tell the story of the presidency. Narratives are displayed within the larger context of American political history by aggregating and annotating hard data on population, presidential elections, Congress, the Supreme Court, the Cabinet, the U.S. economy, and the federal budget and debt. The Timeplot provides a new lens into American political history; it is not intended to be absorbed at a glance, but rather to be visited and revisited over time.

Because we take pride in our work, we are pleased to offer our customers a premium product: the Timeplot is printed on highest-quality 100-lb archival paper and measures a full 48 x 32 inches, much larger than a standard wall poster.

The printing process is certified “green” by the Forest Stewardship Council and uses elemental chlorine-free paper.

Item Special Note

Our first completed public project was a three-part series of large-scale prints visualizing the history of major U.S. political institutions: the American presidency, the U.S. Supreme Court, and the U.S. Senate. With this project, we had several primary goals: to capture the full sweep of the nation’s political history, to give each individual justice and president and senator a place within that history, and to locate landmark judicial decisions and major legislation in context. Timeplots aims to build a library of such ambitious visuals; some of which will be prints, and some that will be online and interactive.

Our second public project added Visual Histories of the Democratic Party and the Republican Party.

We have also prepared a service for custom Timeplots—“Timeplots on Demand”—for institutions and individuals seeking to map their own history or that of a specific issue or subject. For a political software firm, for example, we created a giant Timeplot of notable events in the company’s history, including every new hire, acquisition of key clients, and photos of each employee. We will work closely with you to develop an original work of art celebrating your institution’s mission and journey.
