Mapping Urban Cafés and Modern Jewish Culture

Stefan Zweig

Perhaps nothing has contributed to the intellectual mobility and the international orientation of the Austrian as much as that he could keep abreast of all world events in the coffeehouse and at the same time discuss them in a circle of his friends.
—Stefan Zweig, The World of Yesterday, 1944 (89)

Stefan Zweig was born on November 28, 1881 in Vienna. In this example, I wanted to show how Scalar supports a personal story blended with a map (above) which allows you to find photographs grouped by cafe. You could also create a temporal story allowing you to follow a set of moves that an individual makes in their lifespan from spending time at the Arkaden/Arcaden Café earlier in life to the Garden Cafeteria later on . In this example, I imagined Zweig moved to New York City at some point, although the metadata notes Zweig died in Rio de Janiero, Brazil on February 22, 1942.
