Improvements in Ornamenting in Relief Walls and other Surfaces.
I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the firm of Haseltine, Lake, & Co. Patent Agents,
Southampton Buildings, in the County of Middlesex do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows :-
The improved process which forms the subject of the present invention for
embossing upon and ornamentin;. plastored walls and other surfaces consists, in
substance, in first preparing the said surface with a layer of plastic material readily
soluble, with water, and then rendering the so applied layer at a part or parts
thereof in accordance with the desired design of embossing or ornamentation non
soluble by charging or impregnating the same with a non soluble material after
which the remaining parts thereof are removed with water the whole resulting
in the production of the desired embossed or ornamented surface.
A mode of carrying out the present improved process and one most practical,
consists in first applying to the wall or other surface to be embossed or ornamented
in accordance therewith, proferably first having rendered said surface non absorbent
by coating it with an oil paint or other suitable non absorbent material, a layer
of plastic material such as whiting or clay in a plastic condition which is readily
soluble in water; this so applied layer having become dry is then at the part or
parts thereof necessary for the design intended rendered non-soluble in water by the
application thereto and impregnating it with an oil paint, or shellac or varnish or
othior material non soluble in water after which the remaining parts of the layer of
the said soluble material and those not so prepared are dissolved with water, and
thereby removed leaving the other portions intact and which constitute and make the
embossing and ornamentation desired.
The application of the material used for rendering the soluble plastic material non-
soluble may be accomplished with the use of a stencil plate or plates or by a brush
or otherwise in any suitable manner, and the invention is not to be limited in this
regard, nor in regard to any special kind of material which may be employed but
those specially named are found to be most practical and serviceable.

1, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the firm of Haseltine, Lake, and Co. Patent Agents,
Southampton Buildings, in the County of Middlesex 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 improved process of this invention for embossing upon and ornamenting
plastered walls and other surfaces consists, in substance, in first preparing the said
surface with a layer of plastic material readily soluble with water, and then rendering
the so applied layer at a part or parts thereof in accordance with the desired design
of embossing or ornamentation non soluble by charging or impregnating the same
with a non soluble material after which the remaining parts thereof are removed with
water the whole resulting in the production of the desired embossed or ornamented
surface

page_text: A mode of carrying out the present improved process and one most practical,
consists in first applying to the wall or other surface to be embossed or ornamented
in accordance therewith, preferably first having rendered said surface non absorbent
by conting it with an oil paint or other suitable non absorbent material, a layer of
plastic material such as whiting or clay in a plastic condition which is readily
soluble in water; this so applied layer having become dry is then at the part or
parts thereof necessary for the design intended remlored non soluble in water by the
application thereto and impregnating it with an oil paint, or shellac or varnish or
other material non soluble in water after which the remaining parts of the layer of
the said soluble material and those not so prepared are dissolved with water, and
thereby removed leaving the other portions intact and which constitute and make the
embossing and ornamentation desired.
The application of the material used for rendering the soluble plastic material
non soluble may be accomplished with the use of a stencil plate or plates or by a
brush or otherwise in any suitable manner, and the invention is not to he limited in
this regard, nor in regard to any special kind of material which may be employed but
those specially named are found to be most practical and serviceable.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed as communicated to me
by my foreign correspondent I declare that what I claim is :-
The process herein described of embossing or otherwise ornamenting wall or other
surfaces, the same consisting in first applying a layer of material soluble in wator,
rendering portions of such layer non soluble in water and removing the remaining
portions by dissolving the material making them, all substantially as described.
