Throughout history man has used graphic display systems to describe and outline all manner of scenarios and to relay messages. Graphic display systems date back to mans earliest drawings in caves with various tools used such as dyes, charcoal and engraving onto stone or woods. They depicted important daily rituals like hunting, movement of the tribe and their beliefs. The Egyptians and other more early advanced civilisations used hieroglyphics as a display system in a similar but more advanced mode of graphic display with engravings inside their pyramids/tombs, on their jewellery and also etching onto papyrus scrolls. Curses, laws and ritualistic beliefs were highlighted and remain for us still to see to this day.
Art (including graphic display systems) has always been and will always be an integral part of mans way of life. From Roman mosaics inside their dwellings to paintings in mediaeavil churches, graphic display systems and the presentation tools to display art have played highly important roles from early religious practises and to a lesser decree the promotion of news, laws and business matters.
Early graphic display systems can be seen in most museums
