James Wyld's map of the region 25
miles around London in the mid-nineteenth century shows the many sites
that impacted the life of Dr. John Snow, the prominent epidemiologist and
anesthesiologist. The other three large maps at this
site, London in 1818 - Pre-John Snow,
London in
1846 - During John Snow
and John Snow's London in 1859,
provide a more detailed view of London, but do not reach the outlying
regions surrounding the city. With an estimated print date of

approximately 4 1/8 by 7 inches. The complete map measures 43
by 52 5/8th inches. It can be viewed in two forms: high resolution
