Thanks for the link to this archive. A very welcome contribution very a propos in relation to the article.

An amateur of old hand drawn maps (Michelin road, and older).

If you enjoyed this I'd highly recommend checking out A Semiology of Graphics[0]. I was a little surprised to not see it mentioned in the article, but I recognize the article was less about types of data visualization than it was about how we create data vis.

I dream of stumbling across a book like this in the used book store... I'm striking out finding a digital copy or availability at libraries.

Happy to share! Goodness now that you mention Michelin road maps I didn't realize how classy even just the covers all look. http://cartesmich.free.fr/chronologie_a.php

And those maps... https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/0308569100374714...
