We’re excited to present a new project: A Handsome Atlas: 

Check it out for some lovely, modern and awesome data visualizations based on 19th Century census data.

What’s the story? After the Civil War, the US doubled down on the Census, cranking out stunning maps, charts, and graphs.

About what? Literally everything. Liquor, lumber, Methodists, malaria, insanity, Irishmen: everything!
