OF white paper-common note paper
VIII do nicely-a tin or china plate, a
piece OF cotton rolled up into a bali
and covered with a piece of silk or
soft cotton cloth, and about half a
teaspoonful OF printers ink, or half
teaspoonful of black shoe-past mixed
with quarter of that quantity of lard.
Spread little of the printers ink
or shoe-paste mixture upon the china
plate or tin plate. Then taking the
little ball of cotton which you have
covered with silk or cotton cloth, pat
the surface Of the plate until the
ink or shoe-paste mixture is spread
evenly over the center. All is then
ready for making the impressions.
Place the lower side of a leaf, the
side on which the veins are most
prominent, upon the linked surface Of
the plate. Then lay blotter, or piece
or heavy paper, over the leaf, and
press down upon every part to bring
the leaf into perfect contact with the
mixed plate. If you have a small pho

good results by using that to roll
