Description
A map of the world illustrating the incidence of fifteen tropical diseases by gruesome representations of either the insects and other vermin that transmit them or their deforming effects on man. The only exception is Malaria, with infected countries shown in pink rather than a vignette. The diseases are described in the key under the map.
Boris Artzybasheff (1899-1965) was a Russian-born illustrator for American magazines including 'Life', 'Fortune' and 'Time'. This map was published in Life Magazine during World War II, probably as a health warning to American soldiers serving overseas.
