From the Jargon File (aka Hacker's Dictionary):
ASCII art: n. The fine art of drawing diagrams using the ASCII character set (mainly `|', `-', `/', `\', and `+'). Also known as `character graphics' or `ASCII graphics'
This means that the images in this blog are not GIFs, JPEGs, AutoCAD blueprints, Lightwave renderings, or anything else of that nature. They're comprised entirely of characters you can type on a keyboard. It's an art form, albeit a strange one.

Large Format Enterprise, ca. 1974

Charles Roth pinged me to let me know about his recovery of ASCII art of the classic Enterprise that was created for sale (!) at a convention in 1974.

See the art and read more on his page: http://thedance.net/~roth/TECHBLOG/enterprise.html
