Mar 25 How Long Do Animals Live?

How Long Do Animals Live? is from Compton’s Pictured Encyclopedia from 1943a, depicting the life expectancy of mammals, birds, other vertebrates, and invertebrates. The zig zag style really helps to condense the long timeline into a condensed infographic.

I’m generally not a fan of winding timeline designs, but this one works for me. The visual metaphor of the animals walking down a path really works. From 1939!
