Improved Methods of Decorating or otherwise Devicing the Surface of
¡ Paper, Linen, or the like in (mitation of Mosaic Crinkling or Vein-
ing or other Similar Effects.
I, EDWARD WILSON-SMITII, of 16, Laurence Pountney Lane, City of London,
Lithographer and Designer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This invention relates to novel methods of decorating or devicing the surface
or surfaces of paper, linen, silk, and other like fabrics in order to produce
artistic effect.
For the purposes of my invention which produces a mosaic, a crinkling,
or' a veining, or any of a similar character (1) I print or stamp upon
paper, linen, or the like, first metal leaf or bright bronze either white or colored
in parts where brilliant effect is required. (2). Upon the said metal in parts
I print one or more transparent colors, for instance, a transparent red or blue
being printed upon the bright metal, the brilliancy of the metal is reflected
through the transparent color or colors, again in other parts surrounding the
brilliant parts I print other colors of an opaque nature which may be in imita-
tion of different colored stones. (3). The paper or other material may be of
any desired color if required to take the place of the opaque printing. I then
prepare a die in imitation of a mosaic pattern shaped in conformity with any
letters or devices which have been previously printed, the printed paper or
material is then subjected to pressure under the die, etc. the whole will then
present the appearance of a design made in mosaic work. In some instances,
in place of the metallic and transparent printings I may print opaque colors
only of different colors (this is when it is required to imitate mosaic which is
not of a metallic appearance but only the appearance of stone mosaic) the whole
is subjected to the pressure of said die.

I, EDWARD WILSON-SMITH, of 16, Laurence Pountney Lane, City of London,
Lithographer and Designer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention,

page_text: and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to novel methods of decorating or devicing the surface

For the purposes of my invention which produces a mosaic, a crinkling,
or a veining, or any device of a similar character (1) I print or stamp upon

any desired color if required to take the place of the opaque printing. I then
prepare a die in imitation of a mosaic pattern shaped in conformity with any
letters or devices which have been previously printed, the printed paper or

present the appearance of a design made in mosaic work. In some instances
in place of the metallic and transparent printings, I may print opaque colors
only of different colors (this is when it is required to imitate mosaic which is
not of a metallic appearance but only the appearance of stone mosaic), the whole
is subject to the pressure of said die.
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―
1. The improved method of decorating or devicing the surface of paper, linen,
and the like in imitation of mosaic, crinkling, veining, or other artistic effect,
consisting in first printing or stamping thereon metal leaf or bright bronze,
printing upon the metal leaf one or more transparent
and
or
opaque colors, at
parts to suit the design required and afterwards subjecting the sheet to the
pressure of a die which is prepared with indentations or inked in imitation of
mosaic, crinkled, veined or like work, so as to render the sheet in imitation
of mosaic or the like, substantially as set forth.
2. Producing a sheet of paper, linen, or the like, in imitation of mosaic,
crinkled, veined, or like work, by first printing upon the sheet in opaque colors
the design required, and subjecting the sheet to the pressure of a die having the
necessary mosaic, crinkled, veined, or like markings, projections or inkings,
as set forth.
