“John Snow’s Cholera Map” as a face mask
“A map taken from a report by Dr. John Snow: p. [97]-120 of the “Report on the cholera outbreak in the Parish of St. James, Westminster, during the autumn of 1854″, presented to the vestry by the Cholera Inquiry Committee, July 1855 Report on the cholera outbreaks in central London in 1832, 1848-9,1851,1852, 1853 and (specifically) 1854. Much reference is made to a public water pump in Broad Street.” (via Damien Mulley and Robert Ovington)
