Description

This fascinating publication studies the activities of the Spanish Royal Maritime Vaccination Expedition's introduction of the small pox vaccination to the New World, led by Dr. Francisco Xavier de Balmis y Berenguer. With a focus on Mexico and Guatemala, Smith's work illuminates a rich cultural, intellectual, and technical moment in the early 19th century. This piece serves as a crucial text for medical and colonial history as it recounts the most ambitious medical project conceived and carried out to its day.
