[alongside John Snow’s famous “GIS” maps of disease mapping (specifically cholera in PWS in London in the 1850s), these 1890s and 1900s maps from Charles Booth were some of the defining ones of the history of spatial analyses]

MapLab: Drawing the Wild World

It’s been two and a half years since artist and cartographer Anton Thomas started hand-drawing a 3-foot-wide world map, armed with colored pencils, a magnifying lamp and a lot of patience (2,100 hours’ worth of it so far). Titled Wild World, the piece represents detailed wildlife across the globe: Thomas has drawn 1,095 animals on the map so far, and aims to have some 2,000 by the time he finishes, which he estimates will be in about six months.
