Tufte and Napoleon
I actually have that poster hanging on my wall at the moment. It isn't by Tufte, but he has used it for many years as a definitive example of excellent display of quantitative information.
The image shows the path of Napoleon's men through Russia, and it manages (IIRC) to display six or seven variables simultaneously, including their route, the temperature, the number of Napoleon's men remaining, the dates.... the list goes on.
