page_text: We, LIZZIE HOLMES GOGGS and THOMAS TEBAY IRVINE of 90 Bold Street,
Liverpool, in the County of Lancaster, Manufacturers of fine art goods, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
Bronzing has hitherto been performed by mixing bronze powder with a sticky
material such as gum water and painting it over the surface, this surface has after-
wards been in some instances varnished.
By our invention we propose to make an enamel, the body of which is composed
of powdered metal or bronze powder and thus in fact make a bronze enamel.
In carrying out our invention the great difficulty with us has been to find a
menstruum which will paint well and yet will not separate quickly from the powder
but will hold it well in suspension. This we have eventually discovered in the
following receipt, namely, Enamel varnish, half-a-gallon; Terebene one quart,
Turpentine, one quart. To this mixture we add one-fourth of its weight of the
metalic powder.
We do not however absolutely limit ourselves to these quantities, and it is obvious
that in place of turpentine, for instance, other hydrocarbons now used as turpentine
substitutes would act, also that both terebene and enamel varnish could be substituted
by other compounds of analogous constitution.

page_text: We, LIZZIE HOLMES GOGGS and THOMAS TEBAY IRVINE of 90 Bold Street
Liverpool, in the County of Lancaster Manufacturers of fine art goods do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
Bronzing has hitherto been performed by mixing bronze powder with a sticky
material such as gum water, and painting it over the surface, this surface has after-
wards been, in some instances, varnished.
By our invention we propose to make an enamel the body of which is composed
of powdered metal or bronze powder and thus in fact make a bronze enamel.
In carrying out our invention the great difficulty with us has been to find a
menstruum which will paint well and yet will not separate quickly from the powder
but will hold it well in suspension and will also dry quickly. Several attempts have
been made by other parties to effect this, but all we have heard of have been thorough
failures, as either they would not dry quickly or ingredients were used that oxidised
the bronze powder, or the menstruum was such that it was impossible to keep an
intimate and uniform admixture of bronze powder with any practicable amount of
stirring.

A paint that will fulfil the required conditions we have eventually discovered in
the following receipt namely, Enamel varnish, half a gallon, Terebine, one quart,
Turpentine, one quart. To this mixture we add one fourth of its weight of the
metallic powder.
We do not, however, absolutely limit ourselves to these quantities, and it is
obvious that in place of turpentine, for instance, other hydrocarbons now used
as turpentine substitutes would act, also that both terebene and enamel varnish
could be substituted by other compounds of analogous constitution.
We have not found, however, any of these analogous substances quite equal to the
ingredients named.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :
1. The manufacture of bronze or powdered metal paint substantially as described.
2. A metallic paint formed of powdered metal, terebene, turpentine and Enamel
varnish with or without colouring matter substantially as described.
