Conservation. Protection Résumé : Public perception of arsenic in nineteenth-century Britain encompassed a variety of things: criminal poison, useful medicine, and a raw material for manufacturing an array of goods. During this era, Henry Carr tested wallpaper and fabric samples sent in by private individuals and manufacturers, as part of an early effort in gathering scientific data to inform and protect consumers against chronic arsenic poisoning. In 2022, eight wallpaper samples that Carr had tested were acquired by Winterthur Library. These samples were analyzed by polarized light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence, and Raman spectroscopy to identify the presence of arsenic. Of the eight wallpaper swatches, seven suggested trace-to-elevated levels of both arsenic and copper. Two swatches were confirmed as having the arsenical pigment emerald green (copper acetoarsenite) specifically. Research into these wallpaper samples furthers the legacy of knowledge gathering and sharing in order to protect everyday users by contributing to toxicology research in library and archives materials.

‘Dash on the Poison' : Analysis of an 1837 Bound Herbarium Laced with Colorless Arsenic Trioxide in Studies in conservation, Vol.70 N°7-8(2025; October-November) (2025-10-01)

Conservation. Protection Résumé : Herbaria, collections of dried plants, have been essential resources in the study of botany for hundreds of years. Like other natural historians, botanists have always struggled to protect their specimens from insects, and heavy metal pesticides were considered indispensable until relatively recently. Prominent nineteenth-century botanists usually recommended the liberal ‘poisoning’ of dried plant specimens with ‘corrosive sublimate,’ mercury (II) chloride in alcohol, among other pesticides. This study describes the instrumental analysis of a book of dried plant specimens assembled by an anonymous botanist in 1837. It was suspected that the plants in this bound herbarium had been poisoned with corrosive sublimate but, instead, arsenic was identified throughout with X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy. Further investigations were made with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), micro-Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), to identify the source of the arsenic in the volume. XRF and SEM-EDX confirmed that a colorless arsenic compound, likely arsenic trioxide, had been dissolved into the gum Arabic adhesive that affixes the plant specimens to each page. The authors are not aware of other instances in which a poisoned adhesive was used to mount herbarium specimens. This botanist’s unusual technique appears to have been largely successful at both securing the plant specimens to the book’s pages and protecting them from insect activity. The ubiquity of arsenic in nineteenth-century life is discussed, in addition to historical pest control measures, and the USA's gradual regulation of arsenic, mercury, and other poisonous substances.
