Tide] in the chart of Het Overzicht. Obvious as well are differences in the personal networks of individual editors, as in the case of Émile Malespine, who included in his charts in Manométre many journals from the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America - a rare exception.27 28 Of course, differences in the charts were an expression of individual preferences, critical reservations as well as animosities, as there were many among the individual editors. Typical here is the fact that Het Overzicht does not mention De Stijl - the editors could not stand Van Doesburg, who, in turn, regarded Peters and Berckelaers as annoying regional competitors and bunglers.29 Although some charts were considerably longer than others were - some competitive element seems likely, e.g. when Blok presented in summer 1924 a chart with forty-seven titles, followed a year later by a world map parading its global presence - there can be little doubt that any of the charts pursued a complete mapping of the network.30 [Figs. 13-14] Their purpose was rather to signal preferences and allegiances.
