The distribution marks the beginning of the seasonal rise that preceded the city’s principal epidemic months, while the underlying street plan records the dense commercial centre of present-day Mumbai. The Third Plague Pandemic had reached Bombay in 1896 and produced recurring outbreaks associated with infection among urban rats and transmission by their fleas. This detailed map demonstrates the increasingly systematic use of house- and street-level spatial data in early twentieth-century public health. Originally published in the Journal of Hygiene in 1907 and reissued by Cambridge University Press in 1911, this map formed part of the Indian plague investigations, which supplied systematic experimental and epidemiological proof of the rat–flea–human chain of infection in bubonic plague.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53776273670491,"sku":"P-6-112082","price":130.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-112082a.jpg?v=1786635302","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/products\/3rd-plague-pandemic-mumbai-fort-north-south-bombay-january-1906-dot-map-1911-p-6-112082","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
