It is an art work by the famous street artist Banksy. He sprayed the image of Death on the "Thekla Social entertainment boat", moored in the Mud Dock area of Bristol's flooting harbour, and of course the image relies on "The Great Stink" in 1858. _______________________________________________________________________________________ On the occasion of John Snow's 200th birthday, the "London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine" assembled an exibition called "Cartographies of Life & Death: John Snow & Disease Mapping" which was opened till March 2013.
