Happy Friday, everyone. Leading into the weekend, HistoryShots has kindly put three prints up for grabs to decorate that plain wall of yours with data and information. HistoryShots has been around for a while, but in case you’re not familiar, they “create elegant graphics and diagrammatic art that visually tell stories about subjects, time periods and events.” Some are vintage reprints from the 1800s and others are original designs.
How do you win a free print? Go to the HistoryShots list of available prints, and then come back here and leave a comment saying which one you want by Sunday, March 27 at 10pm. I’ll pick three winners at random. Good luck!
Update: Winners picked. If you won, you’ve received an email from me. Thanks for entering!
I’ll have http://historyshots.com/Space/index.cfm please and thank you!

I would like to get the “Race to the Moon” one, please.
Race to the moon!
The “Race to the Moon” is definitely the one for me.

U.S. Army Divisions in World War II for real
I’d love the Chronology Delineated poster. (Tough to choose between that and Botanical Geography.) Thanks!

I’ve always liked the History of Political Parties I
Major League Ballparks Four Generations … that looks sweet!
Not really a plant person, but that botanical geography print is delightful! That’s what I would like in the unlikely event that I am picked at random. :)
Visualizing the Bible http://historyshots.com/OtherArtists/4022.cfm
Conquest of Everest, please!
I’d love the botanical geography one (and will buy one for my dad as well!) because I grew up digging and planting trees with him and he taught me to work hard, and he knows the names of every plant he ever sees http://historyshots.com/Botanical/index.cfm

I love The Genealogy of Pop /Rock Music!
I’d love a print of the history of the Confederate Army. Fingers crossed!
I’d would love to have The Genealogy of Pop/Rock Music. Us rockers from the 60’s and 70’s need visual aids these days to help remember.

Wow, they’ve got some really good ones now. Haven’t checked that site in a while. I’ll take Race to the Moon please.
They are beautiful, but History of Major League Ballparks – it’s all about nostalgia.
http://historyshots.com/Ballparks/index.cfm
Race to the Moon and visualization of the bible are informative art!
The Race to the Moon poster would be great! Though, it might make me sad, given our current attempts at space exploration…
Genealogy of Pop & Rock Music is the closest to my heart. The Botanical Geography is really interesting too. Would love to have that tough choice.
Oo! Oo! Botanical Geography! :)
History of the Major Leagues, for my 11yo All-Star
i’d like http://www.historyshots.com/ballparks/index.cfm. I liked the rock music one, but i didn’t see any bands like the ramones or clash on it

I’d LOVE to have the History Shots of WWII campaigns. My dad was in the European Theater during WWII… all over France, Germany and Belgium. Fought in the Battle of the BUlge. Thanks very much. These are all cool!! Reminds me of Tufte’s March of Napoleon.
I love Chronology Delineated – fascinating work!
Genealogy of Pop & Rock Music would be very nice.

All of them are awesome! The one I favor is History of the Confederate Army.
Thanks for the opportunity!
Visualizing the Bible!
It would be such an inspiration to look at the Bible through the Visualizing the Bible piece.
My grandfather was born in the Panama Canal Zone so the History of the Panama Canal is also part of my history.
Pop/Rock, for sure.
Great Blog! Like someone said above, I check it first thing every morning. These are great and I’ll definitely be buying the baseball ones. It’s interesting to see what everyone else has requested.
For the drawing, if I win, I’d love to have the History of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

History of France from 1787 to 1833 :)
Conquest of Everest! Incredible!
I like the Country Codes of the World. Modern and informative.
Genealogy of Pop & Rock Music. though it was hard to pick just one!
I’ll go for the Genealogy of Pop & Rock Music. Some of the others are more visually stunning, but the content is hard to beat, IMHO. HistoryShots is great!
Really diggin’ Genealogy of Pop/Rock Music.
My Class would love the History of Political Parties part 1.
History of the Political Parties.
Would really like History of the Major Leagues!
Botanical Geography is the one for me. Tough to beat.

I like the botanical geography one!
Reebee Garofalo’s Genealogy of Pop/Rock Music chart would be a great addition for the wall. (Sorry if this posts twice, didn’t seem to work!)
Genealogy of Pop/Rock Music!
It was hard to pick, but if I could have only one, I’d love the one on the Union Army. This was probably a good deal for history shots as well, because I for one know I am now going to buy my dad a copy of the rock/pop chart for his birthday.
I’d have to go with Chronology Delineated.
It was a REALLY tough pick, but I’d love ‘Cycles of Greatness On The PGA Tour’, please!
Difficult choice, but I will have to go with Genealogy of Pop & Rock Music.
I think I actually find “Visualizing the Bible” to be the most aesthetically/intellectually satisfying. It seems like it should be a snapshot of a computer network, but the fact that it’s mapping the “hyperlinks” in an ancient sacred text instead is pretty cool. And a reminder that knowledge hasn’t really changed so much as how we think about it.
They’re al great, but the one that pops out for me is the Genealogy of Pop & Rock Music.
http://historyshots.com/Rockmusic/index.cfm
Ball parks looks great!
History of Panama Canal would look superb on my wall!
Oh man, I would LOVE the race to the moon!!!

Chronology Delineated please. glad to see the giving away of cool stuff that has become common on gardening blog is making it’s way here too!
Being a biologist, I love the Botanical Geography print.
i wonder what the EMP has to so say about POP/ROCK genealogy…. that should be an exciting discussion.
Got to be “visualizing the Bible” definitely. I’m always trying to get the message across about its connections – but never with that degree of elegance!
The classic, Genealogy of Pop/Rock Music please.
I’m keen on Cycles of Greatness – The PGA Tour.

History of the Major Leagues is the best!
I’d like History of the Political Parties. The early one is really fascinating and shows the pre-two-party system period well.
I’d like the Country Codes of the World print.
Genealogy of Pop & Rock Music – definitely – have always loved that!!
History of Major Leagues piques my interest.
I’ll gladly take either of the History of Political Parties prints; but, if I have to choose, I guess I’ll choose History of Political Parties I.

Race to the Moon!!
Hello :-)
How about the history of Soccer world cup? (or Superbowl) That’d be intersting to see how new nations enter the games, others leave it, etc :-)
And if I had to get one, that’d be the PGA Tour history…
Genealogy of Pop/Rock Music
When I had a cube, I photocopied that out of Tufte and put it up on my cube wall. My co-workers and I circled our favorite bands. :o)
Race to the Moon is great
I quite fancy the “Chronology Delineated” print.

Major Baseball Parks, now that we have Target Field (which didn’t get included).
Botanical Geography – Beautiful, informative, large & would be: displayed; cherished; explored; and loved by our family.
As an arts educator, the Genealogy of Pop/Rock Music at http://www.historyshots.com/rockmusic/index.cfm
would definitely be put to good and immediate use by hundreds of future educators. Thanks for the opportunity.
I would love to have pop/rock http://historyshots.com/Rockmusic/index.cfm. Thanks!
Would adore to have the Genealogy Of Rock/Pop :)
I would love Chronology Delineated as it reminds me of my information design classes with Michael Twyman at the University of Reading in the UK. In one class, he brought in about 50 different old timelines to illustrate how time has been presented visually over the years. I remember being fascinated that on timelines such as this tree one, and on the ‘rivers of time’ types, that time ran vertically rather than horizontally.
History of Panama Canal. An engineering wonder of the world. Thanks guys.
Conquest of Mount Everest!
Genealogy of Pop & Rock
Country codes of the world – a handy reference.
I would totally LOVE to have the Major League Ballparks! Such an awesome visual!
