I, EDWIN LLOYD, of George Street, Euston Road, in the County of Middlesex,
Agent, 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:-
My invention relates to improvements in decorating and preserving photographs
on transparent substances, such as glass for example, and consists in treating
photographs on glass, or other suitable transparent medium, by colouring or tinting
the back thereof in colours, to any required extent, and, if desired, adding any
other ornamentation by printing, etching, engraving, or otherwise, and in then
applying to the back of the photograph, and its painted or other ornamentation, a
protecting backing of the kind described in the specification of a patent granted
to me and bearing date the 19th January 1884 No 1756; that is to say, a pro-
tecting backing formed by applying a coat of transparent varnish to the photograph
and ornamentation only, then a coating of silver or gold leaf, or by otherwise
silvering or gilding the same by any of the known processes, so as to produce a
mirror-like brilliant silver or gold surface on all parts of the sheet of glass, or other
transparent medium, except that covered by the photograph and its ornamentation,
and finally, by coating the whole surface, including the silvered or gilded back,
with varnish, thick red lead paint, or other suitable protecting medium, or backing.
The photograph on the glass may be produced by any suitable known means, for
example a negative may be taken on the glass or other transparent substance
direct, or the photographic object may be produced as a photographic print on the
glass from any suitable negative by the carbon or other process.
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
Treating photographs or photographic prints on glass or other suitable trans-
parent medium by colouring or tinting the backs thereof, adding when required,
any other ornamentation, applying a coat of transparent varnish, gilding or
silvering, and finally coating the whole back surface with varnish, thick red lead
paint, or other protecting medium or backing, as herein before described.
E. LLOYD.
