ARSENICAL BOOKS DATABASE

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 is not bound in emerald green bookcloth. We provide this table of books bound in emerald green bookcloth 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 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. This table was last updated on December 2, 2021.
