Nice pre-computer charts and data tables from An Intermediate Commercial Geography, Part 1: Commodities and World Trade by L. Dudley Stamp (1965/1927)

Some great chart and tables design in this book:

Letting the Argintine bar go outside the chart is great, and hard to do in Office charts(?)<

What I like here is using the dots to go between the row name and the rest of the columns. It fills that whitespace nicely and, I guess, makes it more readable so don’t lose track of the row as you go right.

I would have wanted to put a grid on all of this, but it looks so much better without one.

From An Intermediate Commercial Geography, Part 1: Commodities and World Trade by L. Dudley Stamp. This is from the 1965, the 12th edition. The 1st edition was published in 1927.
