Timeline

A convenient way to show a linear progression of dates, times and occurences vertically on a page. Good for showing lists of dates that it is not possible to interact with (as opposed to events, which invite the user to learn more).

Please note that the left side has a fixed width, and using non-breaking text that exceeds this width will visually break the effect.

Simplified timeline

1505-10: The Rothschild Prayer Book is produced in the Ghent-Bruges area of the Netherlands. It is probably bought on the market and not commissioned, the original owner is not known.
1872: The Prayer Book appears in a catalogue of the collection of Anselm von Rothschild
1938: It is confiscated by the Nazis from his descendant Alphonse von Rothschild in the annexation of Austria.
After the end of WW2: The Austrian Government uses legislation to pressure the Rothschilds into "donating" a large number of works to Austrian museums, including the Prayer Book
1999: Bowing to international pressure, the Austrian government returns the book and other works of art to the Rothschilds.
July 8, 1999: The Rothschilds sell the Prayer Book through Christie's London for a world record price.
January 9, 2014: The Prayer Book is sold again, at Christie's New York. The bidder is anonymous.
September 2014: It is revealed that Kerry Stokes, Australian businessman and owner of the Seven Network, had purchased it. The Prayer Book forms part of the Stokes collection in Perth.
