1815réf. 3205London c1815. 130 by 97mm. 5 by 3.75 inches. Engraved caricature map mounted on card original full wash colour. This humorous map is part of the series of cartographic caricatures - including England and Wales as here Scotland and Ireland - which Robert Deighton first produced in the late eighteenth century. England and Wales are depicted as John Bull with full tankard of beer in hand and riding a monstrous fish. The map like much of Dighton's caricatures would be published as a print by Carrington Bowles fl.1752-1793. Carington Bowles worked initially with his father John Bowles before leaving to take over his uncle Thomas Bowles II's business circa 1762. Carington Bowles was one of the most active mapsellers and publishers of his day in London. His business was continued by his some Henry Carington Bowles who in partnership with Samuel Carver continued to publish maps and prints well into the nineteenth century. unknown

The Foreword sings the praises & extols the bravery of the man who "fought his way.through the trackless tropic wastes & wrested one by one her blackest most jealously guarded secrets from the savage breast of the Dark Continent." Black-and-white photos document the slaying of leopards elephants oryx gazelle lions zebra rhinos & greater koodoo over whose corpses the hunters-and often their wives & children-proudly pose with their Winchester rifles the weapon of choice on the hunt & in the film praised for their "envious record in both America and Africa.'' Other animals on the trip were captured & brought back to California for a zoo the Snows were planning which they established by Lake Merritt upon their return; the animals were later moved to create the Oakland Zoo in 1934. Henry died in 1927 though son Sidney would go on to form the Alameda County Botanical & Zoological Society. Quite scarce with OCLC reporting just 1 copy of the film but no copies of the booklet.

Also published "On asphyxia and on the resuscitation of still-born children" London Medical Gazette vol. 29 5 November 1841: pp. 222-27. / Between 1839 and 1841 Snow experimented with a guinea pig suffocating the creature and then beginning a dissection. He found that an hour after death that he perceived a "slight vermicular motion in the right auricle. He opened the trachea and began artificial respiration. The heart's ventricles began to move and through the coast of the left atrium the chamber that receives blood from the lungs he could see oxygen-rich bright red blood. The heart continued to contract weakly unable to expel blood from its chambers but it kept beating rhythmically for forty-five minutes. . . . This particular experiment took place in the course of his investigations into respiration and asphyxia undertaken with the desire to establish the physiological basis for pulmonary resuscitation on infants." Snow was witnessing one in twenty births being stillborn many of whom were asphyxiated. Many methods of resuscitating were tried including electrical shock mouth-to-mouth resuscitation etc. "Snow surmised that the line between life and death was not fixed and the heart retained its irritability its ability to be stimulated by oxygen beyond death." With this study done Snow's recommendation was to use his "artificial respirator on still-born infants." p. 1-3. This whole effort was to reinforce Snow's experimental method to study a medical problem. Because of this experience he was encouraged to continue his research practices. The announcement created a varied debate wherein many opinions and experiences were expressed. This led if indirectly to his use in 1848 to apply chloroform to a patient with a difficult birthing history. p. 4. – Vinten-Johansen et.al. / "Shepard considers this paper particularly significant for Snow's later anesthesia research."
