Framed Print of The Great Stink, 1858
Entitled: "Father Thames Introducing his Offspring to the Fair city: Diphtheria, Scofula, Cholera." In the summer of 1858 all the sewage and waste of a population numbering roughly 2 million people spilled into the river directly from the city drains or from urban tributaries and, in the heat and drought of that summer, it formed a slow-moving brown sludge that gave off a choking stench. The smell of raw sewage and rotting waste grew so intense that Parliament had to close and for authorities, who had decided that cholera was a stink-borne disease, the time had come to do something. © NYPL / Science Source
