| Description Of Item | A transcribed copy of an article titled ‘Transmission of Colour’, originally published in Public Opinion on 9 October 1875. It describes a case Robert Hall Bakewell witnessed in Trinidad, where the skin of L. de Tormes’ infant daughter became dark and hairy after she was vaccinated with matter taken from ‘a negro’.
