Hi Graham, I took a nice pic of one at Pokaka last year, it's at home on my PC, will email it to you tomorrow Grant ________________________________ From:...

The titinium/zinc pigment is the substitute "flake white" and simply doesn't have the covering power of proper flake white - the real stuff was simply lead...

Peter correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there ever was a colour called MIDLAND Lake? I think you will find that the MRC in the UK used Crimson Lake,...
In England, Midland Lake was NOT just Crimson Lake, but a more complex surface treatment in which Crimson was just the most visible of the three principal...
