"Glycerine: A Versatile Ingredient in History and Hand Care" In the world of cartoons, Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa, an Irish Fenian, was known for his rebellious spirit. Little did he know that glycerine would make its mark beyond political movements. Fast forward to 1889 when Beethams Glycerine Cucumber skin product hit the market with a promising advert. This innovative concoction aimed to revolutionize hand care routines, leaving hands soft and rejuvenated. Victorian advertisements from that era showcased the wonders in various forms. Engravings depicted experiments with soap and glycerine bubbles, capturing the imagination of both young and old alike. Meanwhile, another engraving highlighted The Fenian Dynamite Conspiracy in England - a reminder of how this powerful substance could be harnessed for destructive purposes if fallen into wrong hands. But back to its positive potential; Victorian advertisements from 1896 continued to tout the benefits of glycerine-based products. Its moisturizing properties were praised as essential for maintaining healthy skin amidst changing times. Turkish Artillery Experiments at the Dardanelles also utilized glycerine's explosive nature within dynamite shells – showcasing yet another facet of its versatility. As we flip through more engravings depicting pages filled with advertisements promoting various goods, it becomes evident that glycerine had become a staple ingredient across industries during this period. The Bystander front cover featured a Bairnsfather cartoon alongside German shells – reminding us that even amid war-torn landscapes, there was still room for humor and innovation using substances like glycerine. From skincare products to explosives experimentation, these historical hints remind us that behind every seemingly ordinary substance lies untapped potential waiting to be explored. Glycerin's journey is one such tale - spanning political movements, hand care revolutions, artistic expressions through cartoons or engravings - all contributing to its enduring legacy.
