Mike: Although I don't recall the original source of the graphic, I believe it is discussed and analyzed in Edward R. Tufte, The Visual Display of Quantitative Information (Feb. 1992), ISBN: 096139210X. If I'm wrong, it is certainly discussed in one of Tufte's other books.

From memory the objective of the notebook may have been to demonstrate the use of graphics primitives. I can't remember where I saw this (mathsource?, resource library? etc). Can anyone help me out? cheers Mike
