Today’s selection of vintage infographics, maps and charts includes an example of the work of Francis Amasa Walker, who was recently featured on Fast Company Design. He was the superintendent of the 9th U.S. Census, back in 1870, and one of the true pioneers on the use of maps for statistical purposes.

The article was written by Susan Schulten, author of Mapping the Nation – one of the new blogs of 2012 we mentioned here -, and its definitively worth checking.

Here’s this week’s round up :
