3 page photo illustrated article from a rare 1901 periodical - the article is entitled "Fighting the Mosquito - Europes Deadliest Spot" by Lawrence Taylor

Photographic illustrations include-

  • How the mosquitos were sent through the post to London School of Tropical medicine
  • The Common Gnat and Malarial mosquito
  • The mosquitos in the gauze cage are biting the hand of the experimenter
  • Dr L Sambon and Dr S Low who lived in a malarial swamp in the Campagna all through last autumn
  • The hut in which they lived

    Very interesting old photo article with lots of information about the disease and the fight against it

    Please note this auction is for pages extracted from a scarce Edwardian periodical, there are no covers and some articles may have parts of other articles included at beginning or end. Images show the article whilst in its still bound state, the article will be posted as loose pages
