COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Permanent Painting on Glass for Decorative Purposes.
We, EDWIN TILL, of 101, Albert Road, Southsea, Plumber, and FREDERICK
SNELLING, of 21 Trevor Road, Southsea, Gun Fitter, both of Portsmouth, in the
County of Hampshire, 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 :-
Our invention relates to painting and stencilling on glass whereby all kinds of
marbling, lettering, figures and various designs are shewn on the glass for
decorative, advertising and the like purposes.
The main object of our said invention is to provide for the preservation of
painting done upon glass.
According to our invention we paint or stencil upon the surface of two sheets
of glass of any desired thickness, marbling letters, figures, or any approved design
in any desired colours, we then press the two painted surfaces together as closely
as possible, the edges of the two sheets are then thoroughly coated with any
approved cement thereby making the joints perfectly air, and water tight, the
sheets of glass so prepared can then be mounted in a frame of wood or other
suitable material, or simply suspended, or allowed to rest on one edge as preferred.
By means of our invention it is obvious the painting or stencilling on the sheets
of glass will be preserved from the action of the atmosphere, or from being rubbed
or scratched or otherwise injured, and yet the painted work will shew with equal
effect on either or both sides of the glass, according to the position in which the
latter is placed or suspended.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is :-
1st. The herein before described improved means of permanently preserving
painting on glass, substantially as herein before set forth.
2nd. The combination of parts comprising two sheets of glass, which are fitted
closely together face to face, the fitting surfaces having marbling, figuring,

or
lettering approved designs painted, or stencilled thereon, the edges of the two
sheets being coated with approved cement, as and for the purpose above specified.
Dated this 18th day of November 1893.
