Infographic: Hierarchy of Beards

This week's infographic is the Hierarchy of Beards. Its somewhat unclear what the purpose of this poster is other than to detail the lineage of beards. We can only assume that each beard is a direct descendant of these glorious specimens. I like this infographic not because its particularly useful but because it recaptures the Victorian era's incessant need to categorize anything they came across. I think the skill of the craftsmanship and attention to detail caputers the quasi-sophisticated atmosphere and makes this one of the best infographics on the internet.
