Bombay plague epidemic, 1896-1897: interior of a temporary hospital for plague victims. Photograph.
A sepia photograph shows the interior of a long, open hall with a timber-beamed roof, where rows of cots fill the floor. Patients under dark blankets rest while figures in pale clothing, some in white uniforms, move between the beds along the aisles toward the far end.
