I ALBERT COWELL of the firm of Howlett & Son of 10 Frith Street Soho in the
County of Middlesex Printers in Gold do hereby declare the nature of my invention
for "IMPROVEMENTS IN EMBOSSING ON CARDBOARD IN GOLD SILVER BRONZE AND
COLORS TO PRODUCE ORNAMENTAL EFFECTS to be as follows:-
"
In producing ornamental effects on cardboard by embossing as at present
practiced the impression is caused to appear on the back of the cardboard and the
object of my improvements is so to emboss the surface that the embossing only
appears on the face of the card and by means of my improvements very ornamental
effects are obtained when the embossing is produced upon gold silver bronze and
colored surfaces.
According to my improvements I first print the ornamental or other design upon
the surface of the cardboard in gold silver or color as is well understood. A steel
or other metal plate with the design sunk thereon is then placed in contact with
the face of the printed surface or design on the cardboard and the two are passed
between a pair of rollers by which the design is embossed without the impression
appearing on the back of the cardboard thus producing very superior ornamental
effects in printing of this character.
As the embossing does not appear on the other side of the cardboard that side
can also be printed upon in the ordinary manner or as may be desired.

for "IMPROVEMENTS IN EMBOSSING ON CARDBOARD IN GOLD SILVER BRONZE AND
COLORS TO PRODUCE ORNAMENTAL EFFECTS" and in what manner the same is to
be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following 5
statement:
In producing ornamental effects on cardboard by embossing as at present
practiced the impression is caused to appear on the back of the cardboard and the
object of my improvements is to to emboss the surface that the embossing only
appears on the face of the card and by means of my improvements very ornamental 1
effects are obtained when the embossing is produced upon gold silver bronze and
colored surfaces.
According to my improvements I first print the ornamental or other design upon
the surface of the cardboard in gold silver or color as is well understood. A steel
or other metal plate with the design sunk thereon is then placed in contact with 1
the face of the printed surface or design on the cardboard and the two are passed
between a pair of rollers by which the design is embossed without the impression
appearing on the back of the cardboard thus producing very superior ornamental
effects in printing of this character.
As the embossing does not appear on the other side of the cardboard that side 2
can also be printed upon in the ordinary manner or as may be desired.
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 improved method of embossing on cardboard in gold silver or colors to
produce ornamental effects without the impression appearing on the back of the
cardboard substantially in the manner herein before described.
