PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Decorative Wall-papers.
We, HENRY HACKETT MOTT, of 30 and 31 Paternoster Square, London, E.C.,
Decorative Wall Paper Manufacturer. and JOHN PERRY, of the same place, Manager
to the said Henry Hackett Mott, do hereby declare the nature of our said invention to
be as follows:-
This invention relates to a new and improved process in the manufacture of tinted
or other decorative wall papers; its object being to obtain a soft, absorbing, and also
a rich surface, wherein color, when printed either in body or washes, lays even and
solid, and a softer, richer, and cheaper material can be manufactured than by any
other process.
In carrying out our invention, we lay the color on the paper with brushes, either
by hand or machine, of a similar composition and in a similar manner to that used in
making the ground of an ordinary water color wall paper, and, when wet, sprinkle
over the ground of the paper a dry powder, of any vegetable product such as cotton,.
jute, wood, or grass, which has been previously ground or cut into small particles, and
which may be dyed or not, as required. The paper is then hung up to dry, in the
usual manner. When dried it is laid down, and all superfluous powder is removed.
The paper is then ready for printing upon; the surface resembling that of a stuff
rather than paper, and possessing the great advantages before described.
