The ellipsis suggested to me that someone was about to elaborate. How right I was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"0af8\">I came to learn that the site is called&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fulltable.com\/VTS\/index2.htm\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Visual Telling of Stories<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;<\/em>and it\u2019s the brainchild of Dr. Chris Mullen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"020c\"><em>Memory theatre<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"18e4\">To call\u00a0<em>The Visual Telling of Stories<\/em>\u00a0an archive doesn\u2019t do justice to the crafty mind that has assembled it. To call it a game would imply that it has rules. After a lot of thinking I\u2019ve come to the conclusion that the scope of the project and its deliberate artiness is actually a decent approximation of Mullen\u2019s own mind. Sometimes carefully documented, sometimes hastily jotted; blind hyperlinks are common, rarely labeled, and always lead to brilliantly unexpected but related information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"4646\">The site is more like a memory than a library: a mixture of academic clippings, magazine advertising, personal reflections, correspondence with art directors, illustrators, and friends, cartoons, old books, and diagrams from every subject and time period. Too personal to be academic and too rigorous to be a diary, it\u2019s a living example of what it is to perpetually learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"aea7\">After returning to the site over and over again, I decided to contact Chris to learn more. We\u2019ve been in contact for a few months now and I even had the pleasure of visiting him and his wife at their home in Brighton, UK.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure

Chris and Oriole one bright September morning. After looking at so many pages, with blissful hours lost in the maze of the&nbsp;<em>VTS<\/em>, it was a real joy to visit Chris in his home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"da80\">I had some suspicion that their home would be filled with a lifetime of art and books \u2014 both of which I found \u2014 but Mullen\u2019s fascination wasn\u2019t oppressive. A lightness permeated the house and charitable goodwill filled my visit. His library was loosely arranged and filled with a variety of objects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"17a7\"><em>Ninety percent of&nbsp;<\/em>VTS<em>&nbsp;is from my [magazine and book] collection; illustrated auction catalogues; gallery catalogues long forgotten of neglected artists; trade catalogues; gramophone needle tins; book matches, all embedded in my very own Memory Theatre for instant retrieval (well almost). If I was to take Visualisation seriously, I had to get my own materials. Thank heavens for a huge garage never to receive a car.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"366c\">As we walked a few steps across his delightful flower-filled garden into the garage, I had a feeling we would find some kind of treasure. On entering, Chris pointed to several large shelves to his right,&nbsp;<em>\u201cthere it is.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img

the&nbsp;<em>VTS<\/em>&nbsp;was from&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fulltable.com\/VTS\/f\/fo.htm\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Fortune<\/em>&nbsp;magazine<\/a>. While&nbsp;<em>Fortune<\/em>&nbsp;is commonly known to be an important midcentury American design resource, it somehow hasn\u2019t been remembered or acknowledged in the digital age. Hastily scanned versions have only just appeared on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Archive.org<\/a>. There is not a published compendium of&nbsp;<em>Fortune&nbsp;<\/em>artwork, and the names of its art directors and central designers are not common outside of the occasional essay by design historians. For example, one of its visionaries was art director&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.designishistory.com\/1940\/will-burtin\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Will Burtin<\/a>&nbsp;(1945-49), who became a key figure in midcentury corporate design. Despite Burtin\u2019s importance to midcentury design, his name and others just don\u2019t carry weight anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"98dd\">I\u2019d argue that the deep connection between American business, data, and its visualization, might easily be traced to the widespread influence of&nbsp;<em>Fortune<\/em>&nbsp;Magazine in its prime years. It is a treasure trove of data visualization and information design and few people understand it like Mullen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped

I filled the car with over a hundred at 20 pence each. At every roundabout, the piles slid over our children riding in the back seat. To this day my daughter associates the smell of&nbsp;<\/em>Fortune<em>&nbsp;with a sudden dimming of the daylight.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"c3b9\"><em>Phoning on my return, it seemed a container with three runs of\u00a0<\/em>Fortune<em>\u00a0from 1930 to 1960 (duplicates from American public libraries) was available very cheaply. There was one run for my fellow enthusiast Phil Beard, one for tear sheets, and the third run for keeps.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"b4e6\">His website boasts a funny detail for anyone who\u2019s tried to present this stuff:&nbsp;<em>No gutters appeared in my teaching imagery, just the majesty of the pages, single and double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"13b9\">And those articles and illustrations (now housed in the online portfolios and in his garage) are indeed majestic.&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fulltable.com\/VTS\/f\/fortune\/menub.htm\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Gallery<\/a>&nbsp;after&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fulltable.com\/VTS\/f\/fortune\/gschwind\/a.htm\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">gallery<\/a>, page after page of incredible diagrams, illustrations, and charts, all scanned in high-res quality, organized by illustrator, often with publication date and issue. We see not only the highlights from&nbsp;<em>Fortune<\/em>, but full articles featuring all kinds of businesses from radioisotopes to air cargo. The way&nbsp;<em>Fortune<\/em>&nbsp;covered American business was markedly different from any other magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default\" id=\"bd11\"><em>Fortune was on subscription, delivered in custom-made packaging that would have withstood a hand grenade, it was a dollar when others were 25 <\/em>cents. <em>It was immaculately printed on antique laid paper, quickly establishing visual aspects of the American economy with portfolios commissioned from illustrators as well as photographers. Artists previously known as gallery types were sent off on location (such as\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fulltable.com\/VTS\/f\/fortune\/ills\/guston\/menu.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Philip Guston<\/a>), or given diagrams of telecommunications or\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fulltable.com\/VTS\/aoi\/c\/ralcraw\/menu.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">atomic test<\/a>ing. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"5f5d\">Fortune didn\u2019t just present articles on midcentury businesses, they instead visually explained a new era of American ingenuity as envisioned by the leading practitioners of modernist design. To Mullen,&nbsp;<em>\u201cFortune explained the great intangibles to its readership.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em>The below spreads matched leading designers with industries they couldn\u2019t have dreamed they

id=\"5f0d\">A legacy of generosity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"29d8\">Initially, the internet was a place for Mullen to teach his students, but as Mullen has built the&nbsp;<em>VTS<\/em>&nbsp;it has evolved over decades into something more holistic. As the internet is often decried as a place of trolls and hostility, legions of people are archiving many aspects of cultural history, there for the finding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"163b\">I was pleased to hear that I was the latest in a sequence of guests spanning many years of pilgrimage to meet Mullen. Designers, researchers, and interested parties have all found the&nbsp;<em>VTS<\/em>, and his good nature has pulled many of them to Brighton for a visit. It\u2019s comforting (for me at least) to know that there is a network of people that are exploring the history of information design. Visiting the&nbsp;<em>VTS<\/em>&nbsp;should be considered as a central resource for this, comparable to the great libraries of the world. While less documented, the&nbsp;<em>VTS<\/em>&nbsp;is certainly more fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"6248\">Chris Mullen\u2019s life\u2019s work of teaching the clever ways humans communicate visually is a treasure. What started as a teaching aid soon became something less defined and all-encompassing. It is a gift that artists and designers should collectively embrace, uphold, and celebrate. I urge anyone to take some time wandering around its pages. You will not know what is around the corner, but what you\u2019ll find is truly wonderful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"68af\">Here it is.
