This growing list of known arsenical green bookbindings was initially based on emerald green, cloth-bound books discovered by the [[Poison Book Project]]; however, as contributing institutions have discovered emerald green paper and leather bindings, as well, we have expanded the scope of the list to include any mass-produced, 19th-century bookbinding that contains arsenical emerald green pigment.
 
 
 
 
 
In the 19th century, not every book from the same edition would have been bound identically. Therefore, it is possible to have a book of the same edition listed below, but which does not contain an emerald green component. We provide this table of arsenical, mass-produced bookbindings as a starting point from which other institutions and private collectors may consider their own collections. This table includes information collected from bookmark recipients about possible emerald green cloth bindings, as well as more conclusive identification by Winterthur and other contributing institutions using instrumental analysis. To contribute data to the project, please read [[How To Submit Data to the Poison Book Project]].
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
<B>This table was last updated on August 24, 2022.</B> Total number of emerald green bindings identified to date: <B>101</B>.  To receive this table as .csv file, please contact mtedone[at]winterthur[dot]org.
