VERDIGRIS ON LITERATURE

  Jeff Reichenberger writes: "In regard to Nancy Green's question
  of verdigris on literature, I have not seen it first hand but I do
  have some knowledge of printing inks.  Years ago, metallic ink
  colors such as copper, actually had microscopic flecks of the
  metal in them to give the appearance of a metallic sheen. So
  given the right atmosphere, verdigris surely could attack an
  old copper inked catalog."
