Glanmore Presents Historic Bad Ideas: The 1902 Electric tablecloth! A very historic thing *Simulated* here. The cloth would be plugged in, allowing lamps placed on it to illuminate. As interesting as this was, there were some safety issues. #nopestalgia #dumbwaystodye #museumtok #history #historicmansion #earlyelectronic #historichouse #edwardian #glanmore #edwardianera #quinteareamuseums #southeasternontario #quinte #bellevilleontario #discoverbelleville #victorianhome #victorianhouse #
Glanmore Presents Victorian Bad Ideas: Victorian food colouring. Brightly-coloured confections and sweets were very desirable. Some recipes included red from sulphide of mercury, yellow from chromate of lead, and green from copper acetate.

Glanmore Presents Victorian Bad Ideas: Corpse Candles - made of inexpensive tallow and arsenic, they were developed to mimic more expensive wax candles with a whiter colour and higher melting point. Burning these did vaporizer the arsenic and put it into the air, even though it was in very small amounts. Production of these stopped in Britain after 1836. #nopestalgia #dumbwaystodye #museumtok #victorian #victorianera #victorianhome #historichouse #historicmansion #candles #history #bellevilleontario #quinteareamuseums #southeasternontario #quinte #glanmore
