Description

Scène de crémation à Bombay, pendant l'épidémie de peste de 1896-1897. Comme l'indique son tampon, ce cliché a été acheté par le peintre Louis Dumoulin lors de l'un de ses voyages en Extrême-Orient. Le MET, qui possède un tirage de ce cliché, identifie le photographe comme étant un certain "Shivshanker Narayen". La British Library attribue plutôt ce cliché à F.B. Stewart ; il porte dans leur collection le titre : "Sonapore. Interior of burning ground, with corpse on pyre".

No. 7. - Wari Bunder Hospital, Bombay, arrival of a Plague patient in an ambulance carriage

No. 4. - A Plague house in Kalbadevi Road, Bombay. The plain circles represent death from Plague. The circles with a cross within denote death reported as from others maladies. It is probable that many of the latter were Plague cases falsely reported

[No. 11. - House to house visitation by Justices of Peace with a military escort and ambulance, in the native part of Bombay, much opposition was at first shown to this work but eventually the alarm of the people subsided. Plague cases continued however to be concealed till the end of the epidemic - April 1897]
