New: I recreated and colorized one of the first org charts in American business history depicting the New York and Erie Railroad from 1855. I also wrote about its history, how I made it, and uncovering a long-lost piece.

New York and Erie Railroad Organizational Diagram

A recreation of one of the first charts of its kind from the nineteenth century

@Rougeux so very cool! well done, Nick!!

the Chandler quote starting with “The design of the chart was a tree” seems to miss the blockquote class/style.

from past to future: we taught a course on organigrams, for which the New York and Erie Railroad diagram was the cover image

Experimental design course on the visualization of organizational structures to encourage reflection and imagination about work and the economy. The course was held as a nomadic seminar at multiple locations in Berlin and Potsdam.

@nrchtct Thanks for spotting that! It's been fixed. Thanks also for the kind words.
