I was wondering if you are the person who made the ” Tulipmania ” chart/painting in the movie ” Wall Street : Money Never Sleeps ” ? Do you know who did , or where the original is ? ?

Hi,
Nice work, came to this from your recent infinity chart.
Speaking about these charts, those of Playfair’s are still easier to read than yours. Mainly for two reasons:
- data granularity – you are using sub-1 year precision when you axes are only 1 yr. I think they are two separate stories to tell – 1/ trade pattern year to year with some averaging being done, to smoothen the line and 2/ trade pattern over the course of a year.
- clearer and in some cases direct labeling in Playfair’s charts.
My 2c

Nicely done! I love the attention to visual detail on the charts – you’d hardly even know it was Flex.
