This tube was made around the 1930s and contains a pigment very common during the 19th century. It is classed as poisonous and so if used great care must be taken.
That said it is a beautiful Yellow and was a great favourite of such esteemed masters as Vincent Van Gogh amongst others.
This was made by Winsor and Newton and these old paints by these makers in metal tubes carry a large pigment load as do Roberson and Reeves.
I keep a good stock of this for my own work as a Museum’s conservator and for my art works.
The real benefit of these old paints is that they have stood the test of time.
They cover very many canvases in innumerable galleries.
