Static features of communication networks, where the top (bottom) rows contains features of the correspondence (reference) networks. Epistolary datasets are aggregated in 50 year periods. Columns represent distributions of (left to right) degree k, betweenness centrality \(C_B\), topological overlap O and average shortest path length l. For ease of comparison, we do not include individual data points, but present averaged binned values
