now they are almost entirely Ameri-
can products. A few, however. are
made in England and France. The
process used in turning out the Val
entne post cards is interesting, and
while simple TO the man who has
the work in charge, it seems rather
complicated to the layman.
Making Tic Card.
First the artist makes the drawings
something appropriate to the day
such as lovers clasping hands, Cupid
piercny hearts. flowers bearing cards
upon which are written love messages,
etc. The design is colored by the
artists for a key to the printer or
photographer as the case may be, as
some Of the cheaper cards are merely
printed in colors similar to the color
pages which form a part OF the Sun
day newspapers, while others are
made by process called lithography,
name taken from the Greek words
lithoc, Il stone. and graphic, 1 write.
This art OF printing from polished
stone was invented by Alloys Sene-
fielder, q native OF Bohemia. in the
year 1885. The Hthographing art
has passed through a series OF evolu-'
tion and while the stone is omet.Iues
used there has been an ever incruas-
ing substitution OF zinc and alum!hum
in place OF the stone until today the
finest lithographic work Is dene on
aluminHm. When a Valentine post
card is to be made, the copy for the
lithograph artist may be / drawing

First Valentine.
TO an American girl, however, we
are indebted for tho fancy Valentine.
In 1S49 Miss Esther Rowland of Wor-
cestor, Massachusetts, conceived the
idea OF making Valentines out OF lace
paper and pictures and pasting love
verses on them Her brother carried
samples OF the work 70 different sta.
TONERS and returned with orders
amounting 20 FIVE thousand dollars.
Miss Rowland formed a company and
opened up Valentine manufacturing
plant, which in n few years later did
a business Of 100000 worth of Val
crtines each season.
Tho Valentine Card.
Twenty years later the picture post
card came into existence. and took
the place of tho lace paper type. 1t
had its origin in Germany, and soon
created furore in the world, both
on account OF its cheapness and It's
beauty. First it pictured scenes Of
mountains, streams, old castles and
palaces. Then it had words Of greet.
ings for special days printed on it, and
finally the verses Of love so appro-
pirate to Valentine Day appeared on
its face, From time to time the
cards were improved on and today
they have reached perfection in work
manship and are the most popular

one known as the nat bed machine,
where the printing surface travels
backward and forward in the bed of
the machine. The other is called a
rotary machine. in which the print
ing surface is bent round cylinder.
Some machines print direct from the
printing surface on to the paper, while
on others the plate prints on 10 q
rubber blanket on 4 cylinder and this
in turn transfers it to the paper. They
are known as direct and Offset ma
chimes Post cards are sometimes
printed on hand presses and on a
direct printing machine. Each color
involves Il separate printing form and
q different ink. The post card maker
must understand the harmony OF
colors, otherwise his work would be
q failure, for certain groupings of col
ors are pleasing to the eye, while
others are harsh and dlspleasing. The
light colors are always printed first.
In some cases a darker color laid on
the lighter shade will produce a color
desired. A certain amount OF dryer
is mixed with the colored inks to in
sure quick drying, for each color must
be perfectly dry on the cards before
the other can be printed on.
The printing OF the cards is ex-
tremely interesting as one sees the
various colors unfold on the card, a
special plate being used for each col
or. When the reds are to be used
the plate is routed" so that only the
surface to be printed in that color
will come in contact with the ink.
Where yellow is to be used everything
has been routed" except the parts
designed for that color. This "rout-
ing" is generally done by the use OF
an electric routing needle guided by
a man who has a steady hand and
good eye for lines. The cheaper
cards are usually made by the ordi-
nary three color process, made on
litho zinc from any wash drawing or
painting by photographing the sub
jeCt through a half tone screen. This

or taking transfers. II the work which
the artist is about to make is an
ordinary colored sketch without out
line (such as are frequently used on
cards), then as temporary guide
for his own use, and afterward for
that OF the transferer an outline is
made. This is called the key and is
made by pinning down sheet OF gel
atine on top OF the sketch and trac-
ing the latter by scratching the gela-
tine with steel point. This gelatino
engraving IS then handed over TO the
proven or the transferer to be filled
in with soft transfer ink, which is
done By dabbing the ink all over the
sheet and working it into the engrav-
ing, then wiping away the superfous
ink with rags and whitening in a
manner similar to mixing n copper or
steel plate. II is then placed between
damp sheets until the gelatine becomes
quite limp, when it is run through
the press a few times on . clean stone
under great pressure. II is then
pulled of Next comes the guide lines
and register marks, which are guide
or key lines on certain parts that are
to contain more than one color which
is not enclosed. These lines are taken
away when the work is proved.
An offset or faint is then made.
This is a colorcd impression Of the
key upon the plate, such coloring
matter being used as will in no way
effect the work or take printing ink
later when the plate is being pre-
pared. Various kinds 0; powders are
used for this purpose. one offset is
required for each color to be drawn
up. The plate is then placed in the
printing machine.

or a sketch, photograph or a model.
The work is first drawn on the alum
mum plate or upon specially prepared
paper called transfer paper. Special
soapy inks and crayons are used by
the artist for drawing the original
work. 1t Is then the business OF the
post card printer to translate his ideas
OF the work to the metal plate, the
result being several drawings, which
when printed in their respective col
ors one on top of the other Ccalled
superimposed), win produce a fac
simile OF the original drawing. There
are various methods OF doing this.
such as by hand-stippling, rising
shading mediums. or by working with
a greasy crayon on grained litho-
graphic surface, or by spraying with
the air brush or acrograph. or by
9plashing upon n polished stone or

process makes a fairly good card OF

colored process was introduced by a
German named Jacob Christopher 61
Blon, in the early eighteenth @~
Jury, and is based upon the analysis
OF colors OF the design into combipa-
tions Of the three primaries red, blue
and yellow, and only three plates are
required for printing.
EmbOsstng The Gard.
When Z post card is to be embossed
a key Offset is made on a thick metal
or stone. and the parts are engraved
as required. A light tint is sometimes
printed at the same time the emboss-
ing is done, In the better class OF
Valentine cards the relief is made TO
stand out considerably and the en-
craving is deeply cut. The engraved
parts are wetted and a thin piece OF
paper laid over them and forced 10

The hollows are then filled in with
plaster OF Paris, which contains
little glue. After the plaster has set
the top is touched over with FISH glue
or other strong adhesive. 1t is then

allowed to harden before the cards
are put under it in the press. Ere

Spanglc Cards.
Occasionally one finds post card
spang!ed with imitation frost. snow
or spangles and glitter. The latter is
made OF thinly rolled copper or brass
broken up into small particles. They
ere dyed to all shades Of color and
give a pretty glittering effect. The
frost and snow are generally made
from glass, while the jeweled cards
are made OF small granules OF cop
per. The method of attaching these
powders to the cards is simple. The
surface is gone over with a brush or
tubular pencil containing strong ad-
hesive, such as fish glue, and the print
is then passed through quantity OF
the powder In a manner that will
cause the particles to adhere to and
imbed themselves in the glue. A few
years ago the post office authorities
discovered that the frosted post card
damaged other mail, and the sending
of this type OF card is forbidden un-
less it is enclosed in an envelope.
