We, JONATHAN EDWIN BILLUPS and EDWIN PALMER LEE, both of
Cardiff, in the County of Glamorgan, do hereby declare the nature
of the said Invention for "IMPROVED PERMANENT COLORED AND OTHER PHOTO-
GRAPHIC PICTURES AND DELINEATIONS," to be as follows:-
These improved permanent photographic pictures or delineations
possess the peculiar characteristics hereafter described, and are produced
in the following manner, namely:-
We produce permanent photographic pictures or delineations on glass

page_text: of the glass, and rendering the same permanent by placing the glass
with photograph thereon in a furnace, and firing the same until the
photograph is permanently burnt into the substance of the glass.
We can color such pictures or delineations on glass, and likewise can
obtain colored photographs in enamel, in which the colors are rendered
indelible and permanent by incorporating the colors with the substance
of the photographs previously burnt in to the enamel tablet or glass,
and therefore forming part of same by similar means, that is, we apply
vitrifiable colors mixed with water or otherwise by a brush or other
convenient means; we then place the glass enamels so treated in a
furnace and fire the same until the colors are thoroughly fused into
the material of the glass or tablet.

filed by the said Jonathan Edwin Billups and Edwin Palmer Lee
