++This is one of the earliest maps of an international pandemic++ LOMBARD, C.H.(did the editors mean H.C. Henri-Clemond Lombard, 1803-1895?) "Notes historiques sur les principales epidemies de choler-morbus depuis 1817 jusqu'au mois Octobre 1831" in: "Bibliothèque universelle des sciences, belles lettres et arts. Sciences et arts." Geneva, l'Imprimerie de la Bibliotheque Universelle, volume 48, 1831; 458pp, 3 folding tables, 1 folding map. [++] Bound in paper covered boards, gilt stamped title on spine. Provenance: Staatsbibliothek, Berlin, and also from "Kong. Bergwerks Bibliothek", (Royal Mining Library) with their two small stamps on the title page. Ex-library: paper call number on bottom spine, and aside from these two bits there are no other markings. The binding is tight, the book strong and squared, and the text is very fresh and crisp. VG copy. [++] The Lombard contribution is complete in three parts in this volume, including pp 185-211, 304-335, 393-440. There are also accompanying/related papers including: KOESTLER, "Considerations puisees dans l;experience sur les caracteres et le traitement du cholera epidemique", pp 75-95. And with: "Responses d'un medicin de Berlin a des questions qui lui ont addresses par le Dr. Lombard" pp 211-219. The Lombard article is accompanied by a large folding map in FINE condition. [++] The Lombard papers include a large folding map of the first and second cholera pandemics (of seven over the last 200 years), depicting its chronological spread by city (each dated with the year the the infections began there), showing the march of cholera by land and by sea, and poignantly summarizing the extent of the disease with a yellow boundary. There are three other maps** that I can find that are from this year (1831) or 1832, but nothing before these to show the spread of cholera. Both the Lombard map and the map that is credited as being the first of its kind were published in 1831, though the Lombard appears to be later in the year (being in part three of a three-part volume for 1831, and is dated October for that year in the text). [++] "The first cholera pandemic occurred from 1817 1824. It began in Jessore, India, near the Ganges Delta, and spread throughout India, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka. The disease spread along trade routes established by Europeans. The pandemic killed hundreds of thousands of Indians and 10,000 British troops."--Generative AI [++]"The second cholera pandemic, also known as the Asiatic cholera pandemic, occurred from 1826 1837. It started in India and spread to Afghanistan and Iran in 1829. From the Caspian Sea, cholera reached St. Petersburg in Russia, and then appeared in Germany, England, and France in 1832. In 1831, the pandemic reached Russia, Hungary, and Germany. That year, it killed 130,000 people in Egypt. In 1832, it reached London and the United Kingdom, where more than 55,000 people died."--Wikipedia **The other 1831/2 pandemic maps include: Lancet (ed).
