Summary
In this map, which was published in 1876, the physician James Christie
charts the route of two distinct cholera epidemics.
The only date on the map is December 1869 at Mombasa.
The map provides detailed evidence against miasmatic views about the spread of cholera.
For context, see the description page for the companion map,
The Geographical Diffusion of Epidemic Cholera in Eastern Africa.
