Simultaneous with the 125th edition of Switzerland’s Statistical Yearbook, the FSO publishes Switzerland’s Graphical and Statistical Atlas 1897–2017. Many of the attractive illustrations from the early days of the Statistical Yearbook are faithfully reproduced in this volume. This is the latest FSO atlas, incorporating facsimiles of maps and graphs from the Statistical Yearbook of 1987, which was published as an atlas. It also contains graphs in table form from the yearbooks 1891 to 1899, and illustrations on the same topics compared with new figures from the year 2017. Alongside the yearbook, the atlas is able to provide immediate comparisons and an exciting visual journey through time, with facts on the social and spatial structures of Switzerland 125 years ago and today.
