Abstract
Minard's figurative map is an infographic on Napoleon's Russian Campaign of 1812. Tufte (The Visual Display of Quantitative Information, Graphics Press, 1983) declared that Napoleon's March "may well be the best statistical graphic ever produced." We can use this data map as storytelling material for data visualization education. In this paper, with Minard's figurative map, we study four themes (infographics, information design, Minard, and the Russian Campaign) in data visualization education.
