This photograph, depicting a speed boat alongside a 'country boat' on a river, captured by Pierre Claquin, M.D., B.A.C., who at the time was a member of the World Health Organization's Smallpox Eradication Program. Provided by former E.I.S. officer, Stanley O. Foster M.D., M.P.H., it was one of a series entitled 'The Story of One Smallpox Jeep', depicting the travails faced by the jeep, and its occupants of public health practitioners, as they road through the Bangladesh countryside in an attempt to eradicate smallpox from the country. During the in-country efforts by E.I.S. officers and local public health practitioners, the country boat method of travel was widely used.
