Map a-day-in May (a thirty-one cabinet display) Agnes Sinclair Holbrook Agnes Sinclair Holbrook, moved to Hull-House in their early twenties. Alongside other residents, Holbrook applied their college training in science and art to collecting and mapping demographic data from their Near West Side neighborhood. Holbrook designed maps which illustrated the nationalities of immigrants living nearby. Influenced by Charles Booth’s statistical mapping of poverty in London, the maps visualize detailed statistics with remarkable economy. The presentation influenced the research methods and interests of the burgeoning field of sociology, and foreshadowed GIS mapping. From the Norman B.
