TRANSFER PICTURES. The decorations
on carriages, buggies. seighs, furniture.
boxes, &c, and other painted surfaces,
often show the most delicate artistic skill,
and the question arises, how are such
views and ornaments placed there without
great expense ? The cheapest articles are
frequently covered with bits of landscape
or floral decorations that could not be
painted by hand without increasing the
value Of the articles. The secret is, these
paintings are transferred to the articles
adorned by process called ''Decalcomanie.'
When the method was first discovered
high prices were charged for the transfer
pictures, and also for teac hing the art, so
that few could afford to purchase Recent
ly. however, dealers have reduced the
rates so that now these pictures may be
obtained at comparatively low cost. j. l..
