History of Glow in the Dark Paint: How it was used by decent folk, and also by con artists

Be sure to find my books on Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/... In this video, author and Victorian history expert Sarah A. Chrisman tells the history of glow in the dark paint, from naturally occurring phenomenon like fireflies, glow worms, noctoluca plankton and the eerie glowing bacteria found on fresh graves and corpses, to calcium sulphide derived from oyster shells in the 18th-century (still popular in the 19th-century and throughout the Victorian era), to brighter barium and radium based paints. She explains how glow in the dark paints were used by sailors and other marine workers to mark life preservers, buoys, and other necessary equipment; she talks about ideas which people in the 19th-century discussed for potential uses of glow in the dark paints (railroad car ceilings, sign posts, athletic equipment for night time play…); and she tells some of the ways that con artists used glow in the dark paint in seances to convince their audiences that ghosts were appearing. Visuals in this video include Sarah using glow in the dark paint to paint fireflies in her kitchen, using it to paint the eyes of a decorative lion in her house, a timeline of Victorian history, and Sarah walking through a graveyard.
