ERIC ED617561: Report of the Commissioner of Education for the Year 1887-88
This is a government statistical report from the Bureau of Education, issued in 1889 by the United States Commissioner of Education, covering the 1887-88 school year and written for school officials and legislators. One map in it shows each state labelled with a single figure, a plain statistical choropleth-style layout in black outline on a cream ground that a designer could borrow for an infographic showing regional comparisons.
