Circa Summer 1910 while printing the
350-only series of cards, American Lithographic (ALC) designed the backs of the AMERICAN BEAUTY, BROAD LEAF, CYCLE, and DRUM
having identical stylized FRAME and lettering. ALC printed these backs on
190 subjects in this series. Refer to thread for more info regarding this "
A-B-C-D connection"...…
T206 DRUM's....and their "A-B-C-D connection"
Research has revealed that 22 % of the 190 subjects were not printed with certain T206 backs, namely CAROLINA BRIGHTS, EL PRINCIPE DE GALES, OLD MILL, POLAR BEAR.
Perhaps this evidence provides us a clue to the make-up of a sheet of T206's printed in early 1910.
350-only series subjects which are CAROLINA BRIGHTS - EPDG - OLD MILL - POLAR BEAR no-prints (42 subjects)
