Filed: 1911-06-12
Granted: 1912-06-06
Abstract: 13,975. Thompson, H. P. June 12. Electrotype; embossing.-Printed pictures &c. are treated so as to resemble oil paintings by embossing them by means of an electrotype surface obtained from a wax matrix prepared in the following manner. A copy of the picture is made transparent, and is fixed face downwards on the front of a glass or other transparent sheet. The back of the print is then covered with wax, and by means of a wire, or bristle brush, or other tools, marks are made on the wax by the aid of a reverse picture seen through the wax. An electrotype surface is made from the wax matrix, and is used to emboss the prints from the back; or a reverse electrotype can be made from the first electrotype and be used to emboss the prints from the front. Alternatively, such a reverse electrotype can be made by fastening the print face downwards on glass and coating the glass on the other side with wax, or by securing the print face upwards and coating the face of the print. Where the canvas on the original picture is shown an imprint on the wax may be obtained by pressing canvas upon it. The Provisional Specification also states that the embossing-block may be produced by coating a metal or wooden block with wax, tracing a reverse of the picture thereon in dark colour, and adding a second layer of wax, which is treated to form the requisite brush marks. An electrotype is then taken from this.
