My latest find from the Library of Congress website is this 1828 cartoon captioned “Woman Dropping Her Tea-cup in Horror upon Discovering the Monstrous Contents of a Magnified Drop of Thames Water Revealing the Impurity of London Drinking Water.”
If I thought my tea contained all that, I’d drop my teacup too!
Absolutely!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great cartoon! But at least if the tea had been made with boiled water, lots of those "monsters" in the water would have been destroyed.
ReplyDeleteI remember looking at tap water under a microscope when I was in elementary school.
ReplyDeleteNow that is funny!
