CHOICE EXAMPLE OF THE EXCEEDLY RARE 1856 "PINK" SHADE THAT MATCHES EXACTLY TO DR. CHASES' MASTER COLOR CHART.
Provenance: Amonette
This stamp appears to be from the same plate, R4, as Dr. Chase's stamp used in his master color chart. The stamps were both used from New York City 17 days apart, surely in 1856.
