Hi all,
Does anyone know who first named the shades of this stamp?
I have found Lake Red, Orange Red and Red Brown in an Edwardian Stamp Catalogue.
In a late Victorian stamp album i found Red Brown, and Brown.
I have looked only as far as my own book collection, im sure there are earlier sources
out there . Any information would be appreciated.
