History Walks in VeniceInk and Rat PoisonIn the <a href="https://historywalksvenice.com/article/sources-and-publications/gaetano-zompini-and-the-trades-of-venice/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Arti che vanno per via in Venezia</a> (1753) by Gaetano Zompini, one of the trades depicted is a <a href="https://historywalksvenice.com/article/sources-and-publications/gaetano-zompini-and-the-trades-of-venice/inchiostro-vendor-of-ink-and-rat-poison-zompini-arti-46/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">man with a long stick with dead rats attached</a>, and also a series of bottles or jugs in his belt.The associated poem says (in my translation):I'm the one who sells fine ink for writing, And I also have the stuff for rats, That is, a very terrible poison for them.The man is thus selling both writing ink and rat poison. The containers on his belt are conceivably for the ink and/or rat poison.<a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://historywalksvenice.com/topics/life-customs-and-ways-of-doing-things/" target="_blank">#LifeCustomsAndWaysOfDoingThings</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://historywalksvenice.com/tag/hypotheses/" target="_blank">#Hypotheses</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://historywalksvenice.com/tag/rat-poison/" target="_blank">#RatPoison</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://historywalksvenice.com/tag/rats/" target="_blank">#Rats</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://historywalksvenice.com/tag/venezia/" target="_blank">#Venezia</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://historywalksvenice.com/tag/venice/" target="_blank">#Venice</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://historywalksvenice.com/tag/writing-ink/" target="_blank">#WritingInk</a>Read more here: <a href="https://historywalksvenice.com/article/daily-life-and-customs/ink-and-rat-poison/" class="" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://historywalksvenice.com/article/daily-life-and-customs/ink-and-rat-poison/</a>
