PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Shading Stumps for the use of Artists, Draughts-
men and others.
I, SAMUEL EUGENE AUGUSTE GRUNEWALD, The Berries, Cheadle, Cheshire,
Artist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in shading stumps for the use of artists,
draughtsmen and others, and in carrying it into effect, I proceed in or in about
the following manner. I form shading stumps in such a way that they shall be
in cross section flat, instead of circular as is the ordinary stump, my new stump
being much more conveniently made chisel shape at the ends, than is the usual
cigar shaped stump. The stumps may be formed in any suitable manner, as by
folding up tightly blotting or other paper, so as to give a flat cross section, the
completed article being bound round with paper, cloth, or other suitable material
and the ends cut, filed, or sand papered to the required shape. Paste or other
adhesive can be used to fasten the stumps together before binding, and greater
hardness may be obtained by putting the stumps during manufacture under
pressure of any suitable kind.

and shaped according to the user's fancy.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:-
1. Shading stumps made so as to have considerably greater width than
thickness substantially as described in the above specification and exemplified
