Shadows from the Walls of Death

Shadows from the Walls of Death is a macabre book of arsenic laden wallpaper samples that was produced in 1874 by a civil war surgeon and sent to 100 libraries around Michigan to raise awareness of the dangers of arsenic. Only 4 copies remain today (96 copies were destroyed by libraries out of concern for the wellbeing of customers) and the National Library of Medicine has digitized their copy in full.
