    Telegraph points to http://www.intelligentlifemagazine.com/places/cartophilia/time-travel http://www.intelligentlifemagazine.com/places/cartophilia/ti... I remember it from earlier this month. Really interesting graphic.

      Good catch! Apparently I develop link fatigue after 2 hops. That makes this a dupe of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10647586 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10647586, which also explains why users flagged it.

  Interesting that it took 40 days to get to northern Africa despite its relatively close proximity to western Europe.

    I am guessing 1914 Northern Africa was not as nice as it is now. Probably an issue with roads.

      Infrastructure in general I think. The articles mentions railways, which seem to help a lot towards shorter travel times.

  In 1873 it took 80 days, or so I hear.
