Comments on: Dressing a Lady – circa 1830 https://historicalsewing.com 19th Century Costuming for Those Who Dream of the Past Sat, 19 May 2018 22:08:46 +0000 hourly 1 By: Larynxa https://historicalsewing.com/dressing-a-lady/circa-1830/comment-page-1#comment-238614 Thu, 15 Feb 2018 13:26:34 +0000 http://www.historicalsewing.com/?page_id=38#comment-238614 That beautiful, deadly green comes from Paris Green/Schweinfurt Green. Otherwise known as copper acetate triarsenite or copper acetoarsenite. This pigment was used in fabrics, wallpaper, printing (fashion plates, books, boxes, paper), candles, artificial flowers—even in food. And it was lethal, especially in warm & damp environments (like sweaty clothes and boots), which caused it to form arsine gas.

That fashion plate would certainly test positive for this fatal green.
