1887 PALE PINK
LOOSE PALE PINK STAMP 1894 PALE PINK
These images are of the three pale pink stamps shown on sheet 8 of Frame 3, shown in order
It can be seen that these stamps have the lowest concentration of dye, but patches of higher
concentrations are far fewer than for those on the preceding pages.
THE MYSTERIOUS LILAC SHADE
This stamp on an 1892 document seems to be between the deep pink and pink designations in
shade and the dye used is no different. There are occasional inclusions and the unusual crescent
cancellation punches can be seen (one being unsuccessful), but the inclusions appear to be
unrelated to a change of shade. Although it does appear to be related to the type of lighting used.
