The Color Line by W. E. B. Du Bois

The Color Line by W. E. B. Du Bois reproduces for the first time all of these color representations, places them in their social context and highlights the avant-garde of these visuals in terms of the history of graphic design. While the work of Du Bois, announcer of the struggles to come, continues to gain strength and relevance, this work offers a second life to these images and shows that representations of statistical data can generate, by the very act of making see, new knowledge.
