WITH RELIEF DESIGNS ON THE SURFACE

ALFRED ONÉSIME AMEDÉE FERET, CHARLES LOUIS VICTOR LADAME; and
HIPPOLYTE FERÉT, [sic] all of the city of Paris in the Republic of France IMPROVE-
MENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF PAPER WITH RELIEF DESIGNS ON THE SURFACE
"
In the ordinary method of manufacturing paper with relief designs on the surfaco,
such impressions are made on the paper after its manufacture, as are also the
staining and glazing or varnishing operations
In the present instance the paper pulp is colored or dyed whilst in the vat, of the
requisite shade, and in the course of manufacture it passes between two cylinders,
the upper one bearing the designs or grain in relief on its surface, whilst the lower
one is either covered with some soft and elastic material, or the same design may
be sunk on its surface, so that the impression of the design or grain on the paper is
effected under the most favorable conditions; the result being that it is produced
from the cylinder or cylinders as the case may be, on the paper in a sharp clear and
well defined manner.
The pulp being colored before its manufacture into paper, the latter is stained
throughout, consequently no white marks are shown should the paper be scratched.
or violently rubbed in usage. Such marks invariably showing in paper stained,
glazed, or varnished after manufacture..
It is obvious that any description of design from the simplest, to the most
elaborate, may be produced in the manner herein described; and the uses to which
such paper may be put are most varied.

ALFRED ONÉSIME AMEDÉE FERET, CHARLES LOUIS VICTOR LADAME and ALFRED
HIPPOLYTE FERET all of the city of Paris in the Republic of France IMPROVE-
MENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF PAPER WITH RELIEF DESIGNS ON THE SURFACE
In the ordinary method of manufacturing paper with designs raised on the surface,
such impressions are made on the paper-after its manufacture, as are also the
staining and glazing operations.
In the present instance the paper pulp is colored or dyed whilst in the vat, of
the requisito shade, and in the course of manufacture it passes between two
cylinders, the upper one bearing the designs or grain in relief on its surface whilst
the lower one is either covered with some soft and elastic material, or the same
design may be sunk on it, so that the impression of the design or grain on the
paper is effected under the most favorable conditions, the result being that it is
reproduced from the cylinder or cylinders as the case may be on-the paper in a
sharp clear and well defined manner.
The pulp being colored before its manufacture into paper the latter is stained
throughout, consequently no white marks are shown should the paper be scratched
or violently rubbed in usage, such marks invariably showing in paper stained and
glazed after manufacture.
It is obvious that any description of-design-from the simplest-to-the-most-
elaborate may be produced in the manner herein described. And the uses to which
such paper may be put are most varied.
We claim the method of staining or coloring the pulp before manufacture into
paper so that when the paper is made it is of one color throughout. We claim also
the method of covering the lower cylinder with a soft or elastic matter, or of
having the design sunk on its surface so that when the upper cylinder with the
design in relief comes in contact with the lower one the impression on the paper
is well and sharply produced, as and for the purposes herein described
In witness whereof we the said Alfred Onésime Amedée Feret, Charles Louis
Victor Ladame and Alfred Hippolyte Feret have hereunto set our hands and
seals this nineteenth day of December in the Year of Our Lord One thousand
eight hundred and eighty three.
