Breath of Death.
Breath of Death. “A great deal of slow poisoning is going on in Great Britain.”Dr William Hinds 1857 In the 1850’s a change came over the nation. As oil lamps, with their brighter light, replaced candles as the main source of household illumination, walls no longer needed to be pale reflective colours.
