Rose
Brown (#11) Approximate Period of Distribution: Late 1856 through 1857 Printed from Plates: 2L, 3, 4, 5L, 6, 7, and 8 Remarks: This is a brownish variation of the rose red color that can be distinguished partly from its smoother impression. Beginning around late 1856, decreasing quality control of the ink mixing process led to very gradual and widespread variations in the colors of stamps produced. Therefore, rose brown examples are frequently seen with contamination from other pigments, and are difficult to find in a pure state. |
