☠️| Did you know that books can be dangerous? We discovered a poisonous book today! During the 19th century, heavy metals such as arsenic and lead were sometimes added to book bindings to create the vivid green colours like in this copy of Moore's Irish Melodies (ECC E346). #PoisonBooks #booksky

Photograph showing the front cover of Moore's Irish Melodies (1866), which is a vivid green with golden decoration of a small harp in the centre, enclosed by four interlocking hearts featuring the book's title, and surrounded by swirling leaves and flowers.

Photograph of an hand inside a blue nitrile glove holding the book entitled Moore's Irish Melodies which is inserted into an archival-quality zip lock bag. A handwritten note on the front reads: 'WARNING! This bookbinding contains arsenic & lead. Only handle with nitrile gloves.'
