I was looking for something else a moment ago, and stumbled on something terrific that’s been online for years. It’s a zoomable chart called “A Tree of World Religions,” and according to Hemant Mehta it was created by a team at Funk Consulting led by Dzvenislava Novakivska.

This chart was published in 1880, in a book called Conspectus of the History of Political Parties, by Walter R. Houghton. In July, Susan Schulten put it on her blog, Andrew Sullivan mentioned it on his, and I put it up on Tumblr. Here it is full-size.
This was today’s xkcd comic. Click on it for a zoomable version.
I think the chart from the Houghton book is more elegant, but this one is nice also.
