Before satellite imaging or extensive aerial photography, Pearsall worked 18-hour days and walked 3,000 miles to map the 23,000 streets of 1930s London. She had just one colleague, draughtsman James Duncan." from http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/5371680.stm I thought that was pretty amazing and makes me want to wander around an unknown postcode area and draw it as I wander and get lost. Or draw my hometown just out off memory. Regarding the out-of-A-to-Z galaxy:
