Recently I have been wondering if it has to do with a chemical reaction to something that was used in the Hindu brown ink at that time.

We know that the majority of what was at the time considered missing red ink t206's were actually chemical/sun related.

I think some chemical in the brown ink had an affect especially on the Red colors.

Here's a Beaumont that was pasted in an album at one time that I think the glue enhanced the affect of the reaction from the brown ink.
