Description

Scène de rue à Bombay, pendant l'épidémie de peste de 1896-1897. Comme l'indique le titre, les cercles visibles près de l'entrée de la maison représentent des personnes mortes de la peste ; selon l'auteur de la légende, cinquante personnes en sont mortes dans cette seule maison. Comme le signale 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". Le titre reproduit ici vient par ailleurs de leur album.
