PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Harry Emanuel at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the
5th July 1865.
I, HARRY EMANUEL, of New Bond Street, in the County of Middlesex,
Court Jeweller, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for
"A NEW MANUFACTURE OF OR IMPROVEMENT IN ORNAMENTS FOR PERSONAL WEAR,"
to be as follows:-
The object of my Invention is a new manufacture of or improvement in
ornaments for personal wear, according to which I apply to an useful manu
facturing purpose a production not hitherto so employed, thereby utilizing
such production for novel applications, and obtaining a new or improved
article of manufacture. For this purpose I form a setting frame, back, or
mounting in gold, silver, or other metallic substance or rigid material, by
casting, cutting or otherwise, and in any desired shape; to this I affix
feathers or plumage of birds, preferring those which are celebrated for their
varied effects of colour and light; I attach them by means of shell lac, or
other mastic or cement, or adhesive substance, by which a firm adhesion is
obtained; or the feathers may be cemented or otherwise attached to a shape,

page_text: framework, or body of any desired form, and made of cardboard or other
sufficiently substantial substance, and this is covered wholely or partially with
the feathers or plumage, and is attached by cementing, rivetting, or otherwise
to the mounting of gold or other rigid material. The whole may be finished
off by gems or other desired ornamentation. By these means a wholely novel 5
article of manufacture is obtained.'
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent, filed
by the said Harry Emanuel in the Great Seal Patent Office on the 5th
January 1966.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, HARRY
EMANUEL, of New Bond Street, in the County of Middlesex, Court Jeweller,
send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her Letters
Patent, bearing date the Fifth day of July, in the year of our Lord
One thousand eight hundred and sixty-five, in the twenty-ninth year of
Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto
me, the said Harry Emanuel, Her special licence that I, the said Harry
Emanuel, my executors, administrators, and assigns, or such others as I, the
said Harry Emanuel, my executors, administrators, and assigns, should at any
time agree with, and no others, from time to time and at all times there-
after during the term therein expressed, should and lawfully might make,
use, exercise, and vend, within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland, the Channel Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention for "A NEW
MANUFACTURE OF OR IMPROVEMENT IN ORNAMENTS FOR PERSONAL WEAR," upon
the condition (amongst others) that I, the said Harry Emanuel, my executors
or administrators, by an instrument in writing under my, or their, or one
of their hands and seals, should particularly describe and ascertain the
nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same was to be per

six calendar months next and immediately after the date of the said Letters

NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Harry Emanuel, do hereby declare the
nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement,
that is to say:
The object of my Invention is a new manufacture of or improvement in

page_text: ornaments for personal wear, according to which I apply to an useful manu-
facturing purpose a production not hitherto so employed, thereby utilizing
such production for novel applications, and obtaining a new or improved
article of manufacture. For this purpose I form a setting frame back, or
mounting in gold, silver, or other metallic substance, or rigid material, by
casting, cutting, or otherwise, according to any of the ordinary modes in use
by jewellers, and in any desired shape; to this I affix feathers or plumage of
birds, preferring those which are celebrated for their varied effects of colour
and light; I attach them by means of shell lac, or other mastic or cement, or
adhesive substance by which a firm adhesion is obtained; or the feathers
may be cemented or otherwise attached by any ordinary mode of attachment to
a shape, framework, or body of any desired form, made of cardboard or other
material sufficiently substantial to retain its form, and to this I attach feathers
or plumage so as to cover it wholly or partially with such feathers or plumage,
and I attach it by cementing, rivetting, or otherwise, to a mounting of gold,
or other rigid material. The whole may be finished off by gems or other
desired ornamentation. By these means a novel article of manufacture is
obtained.
Having now described the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner
the same may be performed, I declare that I claim, the manufacture of orna-
ments for personal wear, by the employment of plumage or feathers of birds,
substantially in the manner herein-before described.
In witness whereof, I, the said Harry Emanuel, have hereunto set
my hand and seal, this Fourth day of January, in the year One
thousand eight hundred and sixty-six.
HARRY EMANUEL. (L.S.)
Witness,
CHARLES PARNACOTT.
