“Architecture is the very mirror of life. You only have to cast your eyes on buildings to feel the presence of the past, the spirit of a place; they are the reflection of society.” - I.M. Pei. RIP.

To start a cartography series showing the inspiration and process behind the Blitz Maps is a fascinating 1927 map by Frederic Thrasher (1892 - 1962) studying the 1,313 gangs in Chicago.
