Ug9VNjUCAH9qQ:88000:704544472. Accessed 17 Feb. 2020. This newspaper article,
published near the end of the Broad Street epidemic, gave an account of the effect of the
disease. The removal of the pump handle was not mentioned, and the only mention of
Snow's work was a short sentence crediting him for having "one opinion."
Cholera Art. 1 Oct. 1831. Wikimedia Commons, upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/92/Cholera_art.jpg. Accessed 17 Feb. 2020.
This illustration showed a popular dramatization of how cholera was spread. I used it in
comparison with a later political cartoon to show the changes in how the spread of the
disease was looked at and talked about.
Cholera Belt. Wikimedia Commons, upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e2/Cholera_belt.jpg/170px-Cholera_
belt.jpg. Accessed 18 Feb. 2020. This ad interested me, as I was unclear what a cholera
belt was or why it would be standard military issue. I found it interesting how
mainstream totally unhelpful "cures" had become by Snow's time.
Cholera Epidemic Notice. 9 Nov. 1853. Soho Memories, Westminster City Archives, sohomemories.org.uk/images/uploaded/scaled/WCA00044.jpg. Accessed 20 Feb. 2020. I
used this image in my discussion of the "less than scientific" cures of cholera. It supports
2
my claim that many of the cures are focused on the wrong method of treatment for
cholera, as this ad advises precautions which would protect against a respiratory disease
more easily than a waterborne one.
The Cholera Inquiry Committee. Report on the Cholera Outbreak in the Parish of St. James, Westminster, during the Autumn of 1854. London, J. Churchill, 1855. Internet Archives, archive.org/details/b21780778/page/8/mode/2up. Accessed 18 Feb. 2020. I used this
report from Snow's committee to better understand the methodology and results of Snow
and Whitehead's work. I found the conclusions impressive in that they were very
thoroughly researched, supported, and analyzed, and was astounded that, despite this
incredible amount of work, the report was not taken seriously until later.
"The Cholera Morbus and the Sanitary Movement." The Times [London], 13 Sept. 1849. ProQuest Historical Newspapers, newscomwc.newspapers.com/image/33038721/?terms=inscrutable%2Bsecrets&pqsid=5-
Btms4y3yztvOdoJ4wyEA:77000:1377411648. Accessed 17 Feb. 2020. This article
detailed several of the theories for how cholera spread, including by miasma, proximity
to plague burial grounds, and habitation in poorer neighborhoods. I found the many
theories interesting, and saw them as an important reminder that correlation does not
mean causation. I quoted this in my discussion about the "wall of theories."

This article describes the condition of several London boarding houses in-depth. I felt
that it complemented the article from the slum dwellers by providing an outside
perspective of the filth and overcrowding in the poorest parts of the cities.
Cross-Section of Cesspit. Museum of London Archaeology, www.mola.org.uk/sites/default/files/media/Victorian%20Cesspit.jpg. Accessed 19 Feb.
2020. I used this image to get an idea for how much debris was left in the cesspits, and
how little they were actually cleaned, a contributing cause of the filth on the streets of
Victorian London.
Dickens, Charles. Preface to the Cheap Edition of Oliver Twist. 1837. British Library, www.bl.uk/learning/timeline/english/all/oliver-tl.jpg. Accessed 21 May 2020. In this
preface, Dickens explains the inspiration for Jacob's Island, a filthy, poor neighborhood
in Oliver Twist. He explains that he believes that the filth surrounding the poorer classes of London's society created the root cause for their lack of success. Dickens was, and still
is, a well known advocate for the poor, and I included his description of the "Jacob's
Island" living conditions in my description of London's Persistent Problem.
"Dr. Snow's Report,' in Report on the Cholera Outbreak in the Parish of St. James, Westminster,
during the Autumn of 1854." UCLA Department of Epidemiology, U of California, Los Angeles, www.ph.ucla.edu/epi/snow/drsnowsrepparishstjames.html. Accessed 19 Feb.
2020. This site contained the content of the paper which Snow read to the Cholera
Inquiry Committee in July, 1855. This was the third part of the report on the outbreak, the
original of which was dated December 12, 1854. This segment of the report detailed the
causes of the outlying deaths and the reasons for the outlying survivors.

er%201858%2007%2003%205.jpg?w=80. Accessed 17 Feb. 2020. This illustration is a
satirical rendering of the Thames water showing the lack of sanitation in the city, with
cholera, diphtheria and scrofula approaching London threateningly. It was intended as an
attack on Parliament for not cleaning up the water. I used this image as it clearly showed
the shift from treating cholera as an airborne disease to a waterborne one.
Field Lane Lodging House. 20 Nov. 1847. British Library, www.bl.uk/britishlibrary/~/media/bl/global/dl%20romantics%20and%20victorians/collec
tion-item-images/p/o/o/poor%20field%20m00009%2050.jpg. Accessed 21 May 2020.
This image, which was originally featured on the cover of The Poor Man's Guardian, shows the cross section of a filthy, overcrowded boarding house in a poor district of
London. I included it in my discussion of the improper sanitation present in poorer
neighborhoods.
General Board of Health Medical Council. Appendix to Report of the Committee for Scientific Inquiries in Relation to the Cholera-epidemic of 1854. London, George E. Eyre and William Spottiswoode, 1855. Internet Archives, archive.org/details/b20422234_0/page/148/mode/2up. Accessed 4 Apr. 2020. This
publication contained the instructions given to the Broad Street investigators, as well as
their exact findings on Broad Street. Combined with the actual "Report of the Committee
for Scientific Inquiries," this publication showed me how biased scientists were towards
the miasma theory and how subjective their supporting evidence was. I quoted some of
5
the directives employed during the examination of the street in my discussion of this lack
of an empirical process.
---. Report of the Committee for Scientific Inquiries in Relation to the Cholera-Epidemic of 1854. London, George E. Eyre and William Spottiswoode, 1854. Michigan State University, kora.matrix.msu.edu/files/21/120/15-78-BE-22-1855-ReportCfSI.pdf. Accessed 19 Feb.
2020. I used this account to compare the Board of Health's methodology to that employed
by Snow. I also used it to better understand the rationale behind the Board's response to
the epidemic, or lack thereof. I found it especially interesting how they completely
discounted the presence of a waterborne contagion, despite the confirmed presence of
"organisms" in the Thames water, simply because they were so convinced that cholera
was spread through the air.

6HEcgFtdKY8m8agvvPiE%3Futm_source%3Dfbb. Accessed 21 May 2020. During this
interview, John Hessler, the Library of Congress's cartography and GIS specialist,
answered questions regarding the use of maps in the current COVID-19 pandemic and his
own experience working with them at the Library of Congress. I found that he had a very
interesting perspective, as his main goal in collecting the maps is not to gain information
regarding the spread of disease, but rather to preserve them as a piece of history for
6
further generations. While this is very easily done with "traditional" paper maps, the
constantly evolving, "live," digital maps make this much more difficult. However, as
Hessler notes, despite the change in how the information is portrayed, the underlying goal
remains the same as it was in 1854: to record the spread of the disease, make inferences
about its cause or origin, and predict the next stage.
Johns Hopkins University and Medical. COVID-19 World Map. Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center, Johns Hopkins, 21 May 2020, coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html. Accessed 21 May 2020. Disease Map. Johns Hopkins keeps an up-to-date map of the COVID-19
cases throughout the world. I used a screenshot of this map as the background for my
thesis page.
Johnson, George. "Treatment of Cholera by Castor Oil." Jackson's Oxford Journal [London], 16 Sept. 1854. ProQuest Historical Newspapers, newscomwc.newspapers.com/image/389100637/?terms=cholera%2Btreatments&pqsid=1
oSWZC-tE2MMvz1wK4uvgA:716000:64133814. Accessed 17 Feb. 2020. Even
knowing how little was understood about medicine, I was astounded that a laxative
would be prescribed to treat a disease for which loss of fluids is the primary cause of
death. It made me realize how all of the earlier articles claiming to know little to nothing
about how the disease affected the body weren't over-exaggerating. I used this article as
an example of the quack cures available for cholera.
Mayhew, Henry. London Labour and the London Poor. Vol. 1, London, Griffin, Bohn, and Co., 1861. 4 vols. Internet Archives, archive.org/details/dli.bengal.10689.7618/page/n21/mode/2up. Accessed 18 Feb. 2020. I
7
used this account of the condition of the London poor to set up the basis for my argument
about class distinctions in London. Mayhew's work contained some of the most detailed
accounts of life in the city, and it was very helpful for gaining an understanding of the
cities sanitation, especially the night-soil system.

HYYdCWAQ6AEwA3oECAcQAQ#v=onepage&q&f=false. Accessed 20 Feb. 2020. I
used this compilation to find newspaper articles written by Mayhew which pertained to
London's sanitation. This source contained the "muddy water" quote which I included in
my project and which was originally published in the Morning Chronicle. Monster Soup Commonly Called Thames Water. Monthly Review, monthlyreview.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Monster-soup-commonly-called-Thame
s-water-being-a-correct-representation-of-that-precious-stuff-doled-out-to-us.jpg.
Accessed 18 Feb. 2020. I used this political cartoon as an example of how dirty the
Thames water was known to be. I found it interesting that, despite the known presence of
microorganisms in the water, miasma remained the prevalent theory for cholera's
transmission.
Residents of Church Lane and Carrier Street. "A Sanitary Remonstrance." The Times [London], 5 July 1849. ProQuest Historical Newspapers,
8
www.newspapers.com/newspage/32884334/. Accessed 21 May 2020. This source was
perhaps the most interesting of all of the ones that I found, as it shares the perspective of
a a group which is often ignored by textbooks: the under-educated, poor, working-class
citizens of London. The phonetic spelling and faulty grammar attest to the fact that many
poorer citizens did not have the same educational opportunities of their upper class
neighbors, and so there are very few surviving first-hand accounts of their struggles,
making this letter even more interesting and helpful. While letters of the better educated
upper class show eloquent and thought-provoking descriptions of London's sanitation, I
felt that this simple, to-the-point letter did much more to share the plight of the largely
unrepresented slum dwellers. The colloquial descriptions and clear imagery left a clear
picture of these people's living conditions which I felt was difficult to gain from other,
more generalized appeals published by sympathetic gentlemen. The author did not give
his name, but rather attributed the letter to the "respeckfull servents in Church Lane,
Carrier St., and the other corts." 54 of these people signed below the letter. I quoted this
letter several times throughout my site.
Seventeenth Annual Report of the Registrar-General of Births, Deaths and Marriages in
England. London, George E. Eyre and William Spottiswoode, 1856. Hathi Trust, babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=coo.31924092995418&view=1up&seq=300. Accessed 19
Feb. 2020. In addition to keeping track of the total number of deaths in each region of
London, the annual report included a section dedicated to cholera. This section compared
deaths in areas of different elevations, with different water providers, and kept track of
meteorological data for each region. In looking at the information which was deemed
9
important enough to report on, I was able to get a sense of the confusion surrounding
cholera. I used a screenshot of the data on deaths per each water provider in my
discussion of Snow's methodology.
Sewage Spilling into the Thames. 1849. Smithsonian Institute, public.media.smithsonianmag.com/legacy_blog/Sewer-and-cesspool-overflow-Punch-18

Punch magazine, in my discussion of London's sanitation problem. It depicts sewage
spilling into the River Thames from a primitive sewer.
Seymour, Robert. A London Board of Health Hunting after Cases like Cholera. 1 Mar. 1832. U.S. National Library of Medicine Digital Collections, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, collections.nlm.nih.gov/catalog/nlm:nlmuid-101393365-img. Accessed
19 Feb. 2020. I found this image of the Board of Health sniffing out cholera very
humorous, and also very indicative of the type of research employed by the Board. I
included this image in my discussion of the miasma theory.
Snow, John. Broad Street Disease Map. 1854. National Geographic, media.nationalgeographic.org/assets/photos/000/276/27636.jpg. Accessed 19 Feb. 2020. I
used Snow's map to support my claim that he used a new and more effective method of
tracking the path of an epidemic. I also used it to help myself visualize the neighborhood
and locate some of the outlying cases (or lack thereof).
---. Cholera and the Water Supply in the South Districts of London in 1854. London, 1856. Internet Archives, archive.org/details/b30477013/mode/2up. Accessed 19 Feb. 2020. This book is available under public domain, however the copy digitized on Internet Archives
10
does not contain reference to an original publisher or a copyright page. I used this source
to learn about Snow's concerns with the water supply, as well as his methods of
localizing the source of cholera to the water supply.
---. On the Pathology and Mode of Communication of Cholera. 1849. Internet Archives, archive.org/details/b30387218/page/n7/mode/2up. Accessed 18 Feb. 2020. This source
was available through Internet Archives, and the version available did not include a title
page with copyright information. I used it to find Snow's initial theories and concerns
about cholera, as this was one of his first monographs on the subject. I found it
interesting how ahead of his time Snow was, as his theories fit very closely with modern
medical thought.
"Sudden Ravages of the Cholera." The Observer [London], 3 Sept. 1854. ProQuest Historical Newspapers, newscomwc.newspapers.com/clip/16915263/the_observer_london_sep_3_1854/.
Accessed 17 Feb. 2020. This article was published near the beginning of the Broad Street
epidemic. I was astounded by the brevity in which it addressed the spread of cholera, as
the "upwards of forty fatal cases" reported only merited a short paragraph. I also found it
interesting that there was very little mention of what was being done to contain the
epidemic, only the complaint that the cause and solution were, as yet, unknown.
Sutherland, and Hawthorne. "Treatment of Cholera." The Liverpool Mercury, 16 Jan. 1849. ProQuest Historical Newspapers, newscomwc.newspapers.com/image/390649049/?terms=cholera%2Btreatments&pqsid=1
oSWZC-tE2MMvz1wK4uvgA:716000:64133814. Accessed 17 Feb. 2020. This article
11
highlighted the tense disagreement which existed between medical professionals at the
time. It was co-written by two doctors seeking to promote their treatment for cholera,
which consisted of administering opium to affected patients. They appeared to be
responding to another doctor who had written that the opium treatment had killed several
of his patients. I think it speaks to the amount of fear and confusion surrounding cholera,
as even with these claims, the authors were unwilling to abandon their treatment.
Vibrio cholerae under a Microscope. Harvard, hms.harvard.edu/sites/default/files/assets/News/2012/images/Aug/Cholera--vibriosSIZE

Accessed 4 Apr. 2020. This article detailed how salt could benefit cholera patients.
Considering that cholera kills primarily through dehydration, this theory was one of many
incredibly dangerous and incorrect assumptions. I used this image as the header of "A
Wall of Theories" because I felt that it easily displayed the confusion surrounding the
natures of the disease.
"A Visit to the Cholera Districts." The Morning Chronicle [London], 24 Sept. 1849. British Library, www.bl.uk/learning/images/makeanimpact/publichealth/large12720.html. Accessed 18 Feb. 2020. This section of the Morning Chronicle detailed the path of
12
cholera through a neighborhood. It helped me appreciate how devastating the disease
was, and how many people were killed.

"Cholera." World Health Organization, www.who.int/cholera/kit/en/. Accessed 16 Dec. 2019. I used this website to help get an idea of steps being taken to prevent cholera today. I was
then able to compare today's treatment standards to those in the 1800's, which gave me a
better idea of the problems faced by those attempting to treat cholera.
"Cholera - Vibrio cholerae Infection." Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 3 May 2018, www.cdc.gov/cholera/index.html. Accessed 16 Dec. 2019. I used this site to gain

me to further understand the problems associated with early cholera treatment. It also
allowed me to see how beneficial the breakthroughs made during the Broad Street
outbreak and in the time afterwards were to medicine as a whole.

Accessed 19 Feb. 2020. This page was part of a series of posts written by author Lee
Jackson to promote his book, Dirty Old London. It provided an outline of London's sanitation systems, especially the lack of a unified sewer system and the repercussions of
this. It also dealt with the attempted, and often incorrect, solutions put forward by the
Board of Health to solve the problem of waste, smell, and disease.

"John Snow and the Cholera Outbreak of 1854." EdX, HarvardX: PredictionX, 2015, d2f1egay8yehza.cloudfront.net/HarvardXSOC1.jsx-V000800_DTH.mp4. Accessed 21
May 2020. I used a portion of this video on my "Broader Street View" page, because I
15
felt that it did a good job of describing the chain of events that led to the 1854 epidemic. I
especially liked how it layered a period illustration of the cholera pump over the modern
street view.
"John Snow: Pioneer of Epidemiology." PBS Learning Media, PBS, www.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/envh10.sci.life.nathis.johnsnow/john-snow-pioneer-

the Victorian era, and that it traced Snow's work from the immediate impact all the way
to the lasting effects still present today. I used two clips in my website: one which
described Snow's doubt in the miasma theory, and a second which outlined the
revolutionary methods Snow employed and how they are still the cornerstone of public
health today.

the belt's purpose fit so intricately into the miasma theory, as the belts were intended to
be a barrier between the skin and the "elements."
