Description:
In this image, local Bangladesh fishermen had pulled up alongside a launch, and were selling their catch to passengers on the larger boat. World Health Organization (WHO) epidemiologist, Dr. Daniel Tarantola, was standing on the large boat's edge (shirtless). In 1974, Dr. Tarantola had been appointed as a smallpox eradication team leader in Bangladesh. This image was part of a series provided by Dr. Stan Foster, and 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. It was part of a series photographed by former E.I.S. officer, Stanley O. Foster M.D., M.P.H., and was one of a series entitled 'The Story of One Smallpox Jeep', which depicted 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.
