Historical observations of S And, in combination with the color versus rateof-decline relationship for well observed SN 1991bg-like supernovae, are used to estimate a rate of decline ∆m15 (B) = 2.21 and an intrinsic color at maximum [B(0)− V (0)]o = 1.32 for SN 1885A. Subject headings: supernovae:individual (S Andromedae)
