1 WILLIAM BRAMHALL of Atlas Paper Works Stockport in the County of Lancaster
Paper Manufacturer and Printer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
The object of this invention is to produce, by means of lithographic printing, a close
imitation of a hand painted photograph, which I accomplish by a combination of two
styles of printing known as "monochrome" and "chromolithography."
I first produce an ordinary photograph of the view or other subject to be produced
and by the "monochrome" lithographic process I print, in five or six tints of one
color, a correct representation of the original photograph, taking care not to make
the darkest shades too solid but honey-combing them so that the colors will show
through.
Over this "monochrome" thus obtained I print by the ordinary chromolithographic
process, the colored flat tints necessary to give the natural effects desired to be
produced, and by these combined processes I am enabled to produce by simple
lithography a very close imitation of a hand painted photograph.
"
I may here remark that a similar effect may be produced by reversing the above
process, that is to say by first printing the colored flat tints by " chromo-lithography
and then printing the "monochrome onto the surface of the same, and for some
subjects I find this process to give superior results.

I WILLIAM BRAMHALL of Atlas Paper Works Stockport in the County of Lancaster
Paper Manufacturer and Printer 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:-
The object of this invention is to produce, by means of lithographic printing, a
close imitation of a hand painted photograph which I accomplish by a combination of
two styles of printing known as monochrome" and chromolithography.
I first procure an ordinary photograph of the view or other subject to be produced
and by the "monochrome" lithographic process I print, in five or six tints of one

subjects I find this process to give superior results.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
"
The improved process of lithographic printing consisting in the combination of the
process known as the "Monochrome "
process with ordinary "chromolithography'
substantially in the manner herein before set forth whereby I am enabled to produce
a close imitation of a hand painted photograph.
