Description
The idea of this sketch is to take the “Annuaire du grand monde Parisien (1884)” and the [https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k205233j?rk=21459;2 “Annuaire du grand monde Parisien (1908)”, and see who were the important people of the past. A geographic distribution of those people would be made on a map of Paris of 1884, and a map of Paris of 1908.
A more advanced feature could be to check the number of occurrences of their names in the newspaper of that time.
The same could be done for the year 1908. The “annuaire du grand monde” of that year is more interesting because it contains more information about the people (i.e. their job).
