I JOHN BRAND of 22 and 23 Newbury Street, Aldersgate, in the City of
London, Chromo-lithographer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention
to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to provide improved transparent window tablets,
suitable for advertising, by attaching the same to panes of glass in Shop-fronts,
glazed partitions and analogous positions. By means of my invention such
improved tablets are produced at small cost, being also superior in quality and
appearance.
In carrying out my invention I use transparent or other suitable paper or
material for the purpose and I render the same transparent by means of a coating
or coatings of suitable varnish. Ornamental and artistic patterns, imitation of
ground glass, borders in gold, or other devices are also printed or otherwise
produced upon the tablets so as to resemble ornamental and stained glass.
Upon these tablets, so prepared, the advertisement, or other announcement, is
printed, and, when properly dried, one or both sides is or are coated with, gum,
order that it may be rendered adhesive.

In applying the tablets, the glass is slightly damped with a sponge or cloth; the
transparent tablet is then held against the glass and gently rubbed with a soft
cloth, so as to expel the air from between the transparency & the glass. The
tablet, being transparent, does not obstruct the light, and has the appearance of
painting and writing as the case may be upon ornamental ground glass:

I, JOHN BRAND, of 22 and 23 Newbury Street, Aldersgate, in the City of
London, Lithographic Printer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
Whereas the great superiority of writing and ornamentation upon glass and
other transparent material, as a medium for advertisement and general infor-
mation, is fully recognised; but hitherto the expense attending the same has
hindered its more extensive use, and rendered its adoption less general than other-
wise would have been the case; to which may be added the further expense
incurred, when alterations are found necessary, in destroying the glass with its
expensive lettering and ornamentation, and reinstating the same with other
equally expensive announcements and information.
Now the object of my invention is to provide ready and convenient means for
effecting the aforesaid objects in a cheap, convenient, and highly ornamental
manner, and the primary object of this invention is to enable small shop keepers
to display advertisement of their own special goods or wares, at a very small cost
by means of improved transparent adhesive tablets, which may be readily
attached to panes of glass or other transparent material, in shop fronts, doors,
partitions, lamps, fanlights, street lamps, lamps at railway stations and other
positions where information is usually deficient; and which tablets are manu-
factured at small expense, and are superior in quality and artistic finish and
appearance.
In carrying out my invention, I use any suitable description of paper or other
material, and render the same transparent by means of a coating or coatings of
varnish.
Upon this material I produce, by printing, chromo lithograph or other processes
ornamental and artistic patterns, imitation of ground glass, borders in gold or
silver, and various devices in colors, so as to resemble ornamental and stained
glass, or otherwise.
Upon these tablets, so prepared, the advertisement or other announcement, is
printed, and, when properly dried, one or both sides is or are coated with gelatine
in order that it may be rendered adhesive.
In applying the tablets, the glass is well damped with a sponge or cloth: the
transparent tablet is then held against the glass and gently rubbed with a soft
cloth, so as to expel the air from between the transparency and the glass.
The tablet being transparent permits the passage of light, and presents the
appearance of painting and writing, as the case may be, upon ornamental, ground,
or other glass.

page_text: 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 :-
The new manner of manufacture and use of transparent and adhesive window
tablets for displaying advertisements and announcements in shop windows, and
other analogous purposes, substantially as hereinbefore described.
