Description
The idea of this sketch is to use the “Annuaire du grand monde Parisien (1884)” and the “Annuaire du grand monde Parisien (1908)”. The former is just a list of important people of 1884, with their addresses, and the latter is a little bit more interesting because it also contains other informations such as the job of these people, and also a list of subscribers to the Opera etc. With these lists, we could see who were the important people of the past, and display their addresses on a map. Hence we could observe the more fancy and costly neighbourhoods of that time.
A more advanced feature could be to check the number of occurrences of their names in the newspaper of that time, and find out who was the most famous.
