The detailed street plan shows infection distributed through one of the most crowded and commercially important parts of the colonial city, now central Mumbai. Bombay was the point at which the Third Plague Pandemic reached India in 1896; recurrent outbreaks subsequently killed large numbers of people and prompted extensive investigation of the city’s rats and fleas. This map offers a powerful visual record of urban epidemic surveillance at the height of the 1905–06 outbreak. 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":53776273736027,"sku":"P-6-112084","price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-112084a.jpg?v=1786635303","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/products\/3rd-plague-pandemic-mumbai-fort-north-south-bombay-march-1906-dot-map-1911-p-6-112084","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
