TO CLEAN ENGRAVINGS.
Two Very Simple and Effective Methods of
Removing All Stains.

Two Very Simple and Effective Methods of
Removing All Stains.
According to the American Art Printer
you should put the engraving on a clean
board and cover 1t with a thin LAYER of
common salt, finely pulverized; then squeeze
lemon juice upon the salt until consider
able portion of it is dissolved. After every
part of the picture has been subjected to
this treatment elevate one end of the board
so that it will form an angle of about 45
degrees with the horizon. From a tea
kettle or other suitable vessel pour on the
engraving boiling water until the salt and
lemon juice are entirely washed of. The
engraving will then be perfectly clean and
free from stain. 1t must be dried on the
board or on some smooth surface gradually,
not by the fire or sun.
Immerse the print for an hour or so (or
longer if necessary in lye made by add
ing to the strongest muriatie acid its own
weight in water, and to three parts of this
mixture adding one OF red oxide Of man
ganese India ink stains should in the first
instance be assisted out with hot water, and
pencil marks should be taken out with
India rubber very carefully. If the print
has been mounted the paste on the back
should be removed with warm water.
Another recipe is: Lay the engraving
down on q smooth board with clean sheet
of paper underneath, and with a clean
sponge and water wet the picture on both
sides and then saturate it well with a soft
sponge with the following mixture: A
quarter of pound chloride of lime, two
ounces oxalic acid, and one quart Of soft
water, and apply.
