Handcrafted Data Viz

One of the most overlooked tourist attractions in Cairo is the Agricultural Museum, which has become a time capsule of mid 1900's museum curation. Amongst the overwhelming amount of taxidermy, wax figures, formaldehyde, and dust, the museum displays some beautifully handcrafted data visualizations of agricultural production trends. I captured a few photos of the more intricate ones as an inspiration for my own work and a reminder of how much effort such work used to require!
