This document provides a brief history of infographics from ancient times to the modern era. It notes that some of the earliest infographics include Babylonian clay tablets from 500 BC depicting prevailing winds, and William Playfair in 1786 who invented the line graph, bar chart, pie chart and circle graph. The document then outlines key infographics through history for subjects like cholera outbreaks, human history timelines, Napoleon's military campaigns, human metabolism, electromagnetic radiations, newspaper graphics including weather maps, explaining wars, and modern beer varieties and humor.
