's a unique poster" said Martin Dodge, Peacock's Director ofResearch, "because it brings together some of the most important original and oftenhand drawn diagrams and maps made by the Internet's inventors from 1964 to 1988."The images shown on the poster were also selected for their artistic value, Dodgesaid. "We wanted to tell the story of the Internet's early years in maps, but in away that would appeal to people new to the Internet as well as to tech-savvynetworking engineers."The maps and diagrams on Peacock's new poster have historical significance too,explained Dodge. "They chart the layout of several pioneering packet data networksthat no longer exist and document the vision of the Internet's founders."
