The map records the “distribution of, and comparative mortality from plague” across the districts of the Bombay Presidency during 1897, using coloured district outlines, mortality circles and statistical tables to translate epidemic catastrophe into administrative geography. Printed by the Government Photozinco Office, Poona, in 1898, it belongs to the early official mapping of bubonic plague after the disease’s emergence in Bombay in 1896 and its rapid spread through the Presidency. The inset tables give death-rates and district statistics, including Bombay City, Poona, Surat, Thana and Karachi. A compelling medical-history map, combining colonial public-health surveillance, statistical cartography and the human geography of one of British India’s most consequential epidemics.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53123571024219,"sku":"P-7-028339","price":640.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-7-028339a.jpg?v=1779887919"},{"product_id":"distribution-of-mortality-from-cholera-during-1897-bombay-presidency-1898-map-p-7-028340","title":"Distribution of \u0026 Mortality from Cholera during 1897—Bombay Presidency 1898 map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e'Sketch Map to Illustrate the Distribution of and Comparative Mortality from Cholera in the Different Collectorates of the Presidency of Bombay during the Year 1897'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eA scarce official epidemiological map of the Bombay Presidency, prepared for the Sanitary Commissioner’s report for 1897 and printed at the Government Photozinco Office, Poona, in 1898. Using graduated colour, it maps cholera deaths per 10,000 inhabitants across the presidency’s collectorates, with a detailed inset table giving monthly mortality statistics. The map shows the heaviest mortality concentrated in the southern Deccan and Karnatak districts, especially the Southern Mahratta country around Belgaum, Bijapur and Dharwar, with further high incidence toward the Madras frontier, while Sind, Kutch and much of northern Gujarat are comparatively lightly shaded. A striking example of late-Victorian colonial medical cartography, combining administrative geography, epidemic surveillance and public-health statistics in the plague-era Bombay Presidency, and the official statistical priorities of imperial administration.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53123571876187,"sku":"P-7-028340","price":540.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-7-028340a.jpg?v=1779887918"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/collections\/government-of-bombay-annual-report.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
