Yellow Brown

Yellow Brown (#11)
Approximate Periods of Distribution:  1852 and 1857
Printed from Plates:  1L, 2L, and 3 ( 1852), 2L, 3, 4, 5L, 6, 7, 8 (1857)
Remarks:  The 1852 yellow browns are very distinctly brown.  They may be identified by plate 1L impressions or early plate 2L or 3 impressions.  The 1857 yellow browns almost always are contaminated with other pigments, especially claret, so they are very scarce in a "pure" shade.
