PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Art of Painting on Velvet, Satin, Silk, and
such like Fabrics.
ELISE BENDER of 42 Mainzer Strasse Wiesbaden Germany do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to Improvements in the art of painting on Velvet, satin, silk
and such like fabrics and consists in mixing the colours to be used, in a powdered
state, with powdered rosin.
In order to mix the colour and the rosin perfectly. I heat the mixture till the rosin
melts, and stir it well, and then let it cool, when so cooled it is in the form of a
solid, and when required to use the colour, it must be ground into a fine powder.
This powder is laid on the fabric to be painted, either with the finger or with a
brush in a dry state, and after the design is finished, the fabric is then held over the
steam from spirits of wine or other spiritus, for which, the well known inhaler
answers the purpose very well.
The steam melts the rosin which was mixed with the colours and so fixes them on
the fabric.
This process allows the most delicate designs on fabrics of the most expensive art,
without the fabrics loosing their original lustre.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Art of Painting on Velvet, Satin, Silk, and
such like Fabrics.
I ELISE BENDER of 40 Mainzer Strasse Wiesbaden Germany 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:-
My invention relates to improvements in the art of painting on velvet, satin, silk
and such like fabrics, and consists in mixing the colours to be used, in a powdered
state with powdered rosin.
In order to mix the colour & the rosin perfectly I heat the mixture till the rosin
melts & stir it well & then let it cool, when so cooled, it is in a form of a solid
and when required to use the colour, must be ground into a fine powder.
This powder is laid on the stoff to be painted, either with the finger or with a
brush in a dry state, and after the design is finished, the stoff is then held over the
steam from spirits of wine or other spiritus, for which purpose the well known
inhaler answers the purpose very well.
The steam melts the rosin, which was mixed with the colours and so fix them on
the stoff.
This process allows the most delicate designs being painted on stoffs of the most
expensive art, without the stoffs loosing their original lustre.
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 process of painting on velvet, satin silk and other similar materials by mixing

page_text: rosin with the colours to be used and applying the same in a dry state to the
material to be painted, and exposing the painted material to the influence of steam
from spirits of wine or other spiritus substantially and for the purpose as described.
Dated, Berlin, this 1st day of June. 1889.
