Claret
(#11) Approximate Periods of Distribution: Nov 1851 - Dec 1852, Oct 1856 - Jun 1857 Printed from Plates: 1L, 2L, and 3 (1851 - 1852), 2L, 3, 4, 5L, 6, 7, 8 (1856 - 1857) Remarks: The 1851-52 clarets were printed in two distinct shades. Nearly all the printings were of the deeper shade (shown here), and the very early printings have a hint of brownish-carmine pigment mixed in. In December 1852, a much paler claret color appeared for a very short time. The "late" 1852 claret has a pale, rose lake color that probably resulted from too much oil being used in the ink. |
