Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Green of the Period: Or The Unsuspected Foe in the Englishman's Home is a book written by an anonymous author in 1869. The book is a cautionary tale about the dangers of using green pigments in household items, such as wallpaper, curtains, and clothing. The book argues that these pigments, which were often made with arsenic, could lead to illness and death for those who were exposed to them. The author provides numerous examples of people who became sick or died after being exposed to green pigments, including cases of children who were poisoned by playing with toys that contained the pigment.The book also discusses the history of green pigments and their use in art and fashion, as well as the scientific research that had been conducted on the dangers of arsenic. The author argues that the use of green pigments should be banned and that consumers should be educated about the risks associated with these products.Overall, The Green of the Period is a fascinating and informative book that sheds light on a little-known aspect of Victorian society. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of science, medicine, and public health.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
