indelible ink on cotton cloth. The pro
cess is said to be exceedingly simple,
the sensitlzing. toning and sizing be-
ing done at the same time with one
solution. The sensitizing medium will
keep for a long time unless exposed to
the light. When the sensitized cloth
is exposed to the Light in a printing
frame only few seconds of sunlight
are required to print the outlines OF
the image. which develops fully to a
vigorous print in clear water. The
color is solid engraving black but by
a simple toning process before the
