Feltron Reports acre actually really confusing to me, I must admit. There’s a lot of information in each one, and the way Nicholas Felton sets them up makes them difficult to read. The concept is really good, and Felton is quite brilliant for putting all of this data together in an interesting way (he’s also quite patient, tracking and entering everything like he does). It’s clear that this is just a novelty thing that’s done for fun, but it’s still an interesting way to showcase how versatile and fluid digital media can be. I think that there is probably a less confusing way for these Feltron Reports to be done but I really like the idea of them.
I made a chart of the prices in the inventory of Mr. William Willoughby of Norfolk, VA in 1803. Most of his possessions were worth less than nine or ten dollars and only two items were over fifty- 14 mahogany chairs and 3 sets of bedroom furniture. This is a very simple chart but it still shows just how much cheaper things were over 200 years ago.
