We JOSEPH SEWELL 12 Lawrence Lane, Cheapside London Manufacturer in
Wood EDWARD HOLLIDAY Dean Road South Croydon Surrey Artist and
ALFRED ERNEST WILLEY 58 Howson Road Brockley Kent Artist 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 :-
This invention is a method of applying the usual process of chromo-lithographic
printing to the production on wood & veneer of any given picture or design.
Each colour as in an ordinary chromo-lithograph is printed separately, & when
printed by a press is registered by needles in the usual manner, & in the case of
machine printing the ordinary method of registering by the machine would be
employed.
The wood or veneer is prepared for printing the picture or design by the following
processes 1st by smoothing with sand paper, 2ndly by sizing with ordinary size, &
Brdly by adding a printing or coating of white, drawn to the key in the same manner
as any of the other colours in the picture or design would be drawn, to insure such
printing or coating of white fitting the other colours as intended & to render the
wood or veneer capable of taking colour in the same way as chromo paper would &
so arranged that such printing or coating of white shall occur wherever the other
D

page_text: colours & work of the picture or design are intended to appear. Such printing or
coating of white to be composed of powdered "flake white" mixed as stiffly as
possible with varnish & reduced with oil.
In the case of any picture or design which has brilliant colouring being produced
it is necessary to add a second printing or coating of white & drawn in such a
manner that a greater degree of whiteness may occur where the brilliant colouring
of the picture or design is intended to appear; it being necessary for all positive
colours when transparent to have a comparatively pure white basis.
. Having now particularly described & 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
The application of the ordinary method of chromo lithographic printing to the
production of any picture or design on wood & veneer by means of a preliminary
printing or coating of white as particularly described in the foregoing Specification.
