EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1872, titled "Chart illustrating the weekly mortality rates from smallpox and meningitis in New York City" offers a fascinating glimpse into the correlation between infectious diseases and weather conditions during that time. The contemporary lithograph showcases two distinct charts: one depicting the mortality rates of smallpox at the bottom, while meningitis is represented above it. The top section of this intriguing print displays a graphical representation of humidity and temperature levels throughout the year 1872. By juxtaposing these climatic factors with disease outbreaks, viewers can observe patterns and potential connections between weather conditions and public health crises. As we delve deeper into this historical artifact, we are reminded of how epidemics have shaped our understanding of medicine over time. This lithograph serves as an important reminder of the devastating impact that infectious diseases had on communities in late 19th-century America. The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection has once again provided us with a valuable piece of visual history. Through this lithograph, we gain insight into not only medical practices but also societal responses to outbreaks such as smallpox and meningitis. It stands as a testament to human resilience in combating deadly illnesses while adapting to environmental challenges.
