I know I have said this before, but I have a Hindu Waddell portrait and the blue honestly appears much lighter than the other examples I have had in terms of the backs (almost a powder blue compared to a royal blue). Based on this experience, to me, it is not just the reds that have this characteristic when it comes to Hindu.

No clue why this happens, or why American Beauty's are truly more narrow, or why a lot of Tolstoi's seem to have wet sheet transfers on the front etc. etc., but I would love to know why these things occur.

I do not think our eyes are playing tricks on us.

It would seem the Hindu's came later in the print run as the ink was running a little thin. That would explain the orange backgrounds as well I have to think.

Derek- I was always under the impression that AB's were trimmed because their cigarette packs were thinner than other brands.

I have heard this as well.

Are the packs actually thinner? I have never seen an actual pack in the flesh, so I cannot make any judgment. Have you seen a pack and feel they are more narrow?

Thank you for the input.

So many quirky little mysteries in the Monster.

Griffith also has an orange-ish background with a Brown Hindu back.



I've also noticed that it isn't confined to just portraits (not surprising) -- note Flick's lips with the Hindu back -vs- an OM back.

Hey Pete

My recollections of Steinbeck's writings are quite rusty....so, clue me in....what does this thread's title have to do with whatever ?
