This is my new favorite French
#map
. Found this one in the University of Chicago map collection. The color choices are not what I expected from a
#datavisualization
made in 1882, but I'm here for it. This shows the travel times from Paris radiating out into the country.

Looked into some of my US Census Statistical Atlases (Gannett era), color scales were more brownish. The pie charts however use a similar palette.

This is beautiful.
Also, note how Alsace & Lorraine are shown as separate from Germany. Only 18 years after 1870, so I can see why.
