Albums of photographs

Dutton, Joseph Everett and Todd, John Lancelot: Collection of albums containing photographs taken during the Tenth (Trypanosomiasis) Expedition to the Gambia and French Senegal in 1902, and the Twelfth (Trypanosomiasis) Expedition to the Congo Free State in 1903, sent out by the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine.

With holograph titles and descriptions by Dr. Todd.

Some photographs have been taken out: they are 11½ x 9 cm., and mounted two to a page.

Vol. I Inscribed on the upper cover 'Photographs'. A note by Todd on the verso of the fly-leaf states: 'This expedition [Tenth] was sent out especially to study trypanosomiasis, and incidentally to make observations on all tropical diseases encountered of both men and animals. It was also expected to advise local governments concerning methods of preventing yellow fever and malaria by the abolition of mosquitoes. Several new cases of human trypanosomiasis were found, and several new trypanosomes were described in animals ...; this proved that the first instance of human infection by a trypanosome, reported by Dutton in 1902, was not a unique and unimportant circumstance ...'

Vol. II Inscribed as above. A continuation of Vol. I, with a similar note by Todd.

Vols. III, IV, V Lettered outside on the upper cover 'J.L.T. 1903-5. I,' 'J.L.T. 1903. 2.' 'J.L.T. 1903-5. 3': and on the spines 'Congo 1, 2, 3.' A note by Todd on the verso of the fly-leaf of Vol. III states: 'The photographs in this [and the next two albums] were taken during the Expedition to the Congo, 1903-05 of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine ... Dr. Inge Heiberg, a member of the Medical Staff of the Congo Free State was attached to the Expedition ... The objects ... were to continue the work on trypanosomiasis begun in 1902-03, to study other tropical diseases encountered in men and animals, and to report on the sanitation of the Free State's ports ... [The Expedition] proposed measures for the control of "Sleeping sickness", it described the nature of "human tick fever" (J. L. T. and Dutton contracted this disease, and Dutton died of it), many new insects ... were reported, and advice was given concerning the sanitation of all important Free State ports along the Congo River.'

Vol. VI Lettered on the upper cover 'Congo. No. 4.';
