Cartogram Map: Europe 1868

http://indiemaps.com/blog/2009/11/the-first-thematic-maps/

Cartograms are a type of map that are able to communicate the relative scaling of map properties, that is, distances may reflect similarities other than miles, while areas are reflected to show relative differences in attributes. The above map has been attributed to Emile Levasseur, and was produced in 1868, as a value by area cartogram of Europe.
