IMPROVEMENTS IN TREATING PHOTOGRAPHIC TRANSPARENCIES OR TRANSFERS SO AS TO REPRESENT STAINED GLASS
Year: 1884

page_text: T, GEORGE RYDILL, of 52 Chancery Lane, in the County of Middlesex do hereby
declare the nature of my invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN TREATING PHOTOGRAPHIC
TRANSPARENCIES OR TRANSFERS SO AS TO REPRESENT STAINED GLASS" to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to the method of mounting photographic transparencies or
transfers in connection with coloured films, the whole being protected by sheets of
glass.
The following description shows various ways of carrying out the invention.
My improvements consist in taking a photographic transparency (produced by
the wet or dry process) of a person, landscape, work of art or design, enlarged or
reduced to any size I may require, and when finished as a photographic transparency
on ordinary plain glass I coat over the photographic picture film with warm stained
or coloured gelatine, representing any colour or colours. When the gelatine is dry
I varnish it with a solution of resin dissolved in alcohol or with dissolved shellac or
lac or sandarac in spirit or other varnish, when the varnish may be coated with
dissolved pine oil. When dry I place a sheet of plain glass at the back and cement
the edges of the two sheets of glass together with ground glass, dissolved mastic in
spirit and dissolved isinglass. If the gelatine be coloured with magenta, when the
transparent photograph is exposed to the light it will show as if the transparent
photograph picture or design were in coloured glass. By treating and colouring
gelatine in this manner I am enabled to produce any colour or colours, and some of
which are not now produced in the manufacture of glass and which are adapted for
useful and ornamental purposes.
Or dissolved resin, lac, sandarac, isinglass or other guns or gelatine aro dissolved
and coloured with indigo, oil, water, aniline or mineral colours and the transparent
photograph is coated over the film side, or it may be coated on both sides, either
Varnished or left unvarnished, and placed betwixt two sheets of glass and cemented
together.
Or I take coloured thin highly glazed paper, or the colour or colours may be
lithographed on to the surface of the paper in oil, water or aniline colours, either
plain or in design and I make the paper trauslucent by passing it through oil and

page_text: then through varnish or through varnish alone. Or I pass the paper through
coloured varnish. If aniline colour is used I nix the colour or colours with alcohol
or spirit, adding a little lac or sandarac and then mix the same with varnish, by
which means I produce any colour of transparent paper. In order to describe this
treatment clearly, I take a stained paper or a yellow coloured lithographed, bank
post, or thin Japanese fibre translucent paper. This I cut to the size of a
transparent photograph and I place it over the back of such photograph, which may
be varnished or not. I then take a sheet of glass the same size as the transparent
photograph and I place it on the back of the paper. I then cement the edges of
the two sheets of glass together with ground glass and glass cement. When exposed
to the light the transparent photograph has the appearance of being photographed
on to yellow glass, which has a pleasing contrast with the colour of the transparent
photographic picture or design. Transparent photographs, pictures or designs 60
treated are produced having the appearance as if photographed on to coloured glass.
Though the light is but little impaired, it cannot be seen through. Or instead of
translucent paper I place any colour of gelatine sheet, talc, or thin coloured or
uncoloured parchment betwixt the transparent photograph and the back glass, and
I then coment the edges of the two sheets of glass together.
Or 1 print, or lithograph any suitable design in one or more colours to form a
back ground for a transparent photograph on transparent paper or sheet gelatine to
represent drapery, landscape, clouds or any figure or design to suit the figure or
subject of the transparent photograph.
Or I take a sheet of yellow translucent paper or a yellow gelatine sheet which I
put on the front side of a transparent photograph, and on the back side of the
transparent photograph I place a bleet of translucent blue paper or gelatine sheet,
and I enclose the transparent photograph and the two sheets of coloured paper ur
gelatine sheets betwixt two sheets of glass. I then cement the edges of the threo
sheets of glass together, or I fix them in a metal frame. On the front side of the
glass will appear yellow and on the back side it will appear to be blue, but when
placed to the light in a window frame or suspended it shows a green colour. Or
the back glass may be coated with opaque varnish.
Or I place on the back side of a thin sheet of opal, ground or plain glass a blue
translucent sheet of paper or a blue gelatine sheet, round the margin of which is
printed any design of a coloured border and I place the transparent photograph,
figure or design over the plain part of the coloured paper or gelatine sheet, and the
clear glass round the transparent photograph, figure or design is placed over the
border, and the edges of the two sheets of glass are cemented together for glazing,
or enclosed in a metal frame, and when exposed to the light the transparent
photograph will show a clear blue and the bordering will show any colour or colours
or design it may have been printed. In this manner by varying the colour the
transparent photograph may be made to appear as if printed on any coloured glass
which the paper or gelatine sheet may be coloured; or the border may be printed,
pierced and coloured to any design.
My improvements also refer to producing transparent photographs in various
colours on glass. After I have produced a transparent photograph as a finished
picture on glass or tale, an exact copy is photographed on to stone, or etched
on to zinc or other metal and then transferred on to stone, being an exact
size and copy of the finished photographic transparency. I then print on transfer
paper in one or any number of colours in oil, water colours, coloured gelatine or
aniline colours to represent the features of a person, colour of dress or ornaments.
Should it be a landscape the colours are printed to represent nature, and whea
finished printing it is sized or gummed over. When dry the paper is passed
through water and placed exactly over the back of the transparent photograph on
glass it has been printed for, to produce a coloured transparent picture. It is then
run over with a roller to remove all air bubbles; then the paper is raised which
leaves the printed colours standing exactly over the transparent photograph. The

page_text: size is washed off and the picture rolled down. When dry it is varnished, and
when the varnish is dry I place a sheet of glass on the back and the two sheets of
glass are cemented Ligether with ground glass cement or piper and placed in the
window frame or enclosed in a metal frame.
Or I take a photographic print and after an exact copy is etched on to zine or
engraved on to metal, wood, or transferred on to stone, I print or lithograph in oil,
water or aniline colours, which may be mixed with warm or cold gelatine, on to
transfer paper and when the printed matter, figure or design is printed, I coat the
printing with guur. When it is dry I pass the same through water and place it on
the glass and roll it over to press out all air bubbles and make it even; then the
paper is raised, the starch or size from the transfer paper washed off from the
picture or design, and rolled down. When dry 1 warm the glass and pour over the
printing a solution of warm uncoloured or coloured gelatine. If printed in one
colour I colour the gelatine with water or aniline colours, or other colours that will
form a suitable contrast, for instance pink or any other colour. When the gelatine
is dry 1 varnish it over, then I place over the back a sheet of glass and cement the
two edges together. Or the glass may be varnished and when it is almost dry I
place the printed matter, figure or design which has been printed on transfer paper
on to the varnished glass, slightly damping the printing. When it is rolled down I
remove the paper, wash off the starch or size, and when dry pass over it a solution
of warm gelatine. When it is dry I varnish it and enclose the same betwixt two
sheets of glass.
Or I print a transparent photograph on to coloured glass, which is treated on the
opposite side of the transparent photographic printing with hydrofluoric acid, the
action of which dims the coloured glass, which shows the transparent photograph
more distinctly. The acid is washed off and the filin or printed side of the
transparent photograph is covered over with a sheet of glass, then the edges of the
two sheets are cemented together. Coloured translucent paper is cheaper than
coloured glass and protects the photograph from the sun.
When a number of transparent photographs, figures or designs are printed on a
lage sheet of glass, which is not convenient to print and develop and fix at one
time, then the printings and fixings are done at several times, and where various
intermediate spaces on the glass have to be made up with suitable ornamental
designs, such printings or designs are printed with oil, water or aniline colours or
coloured gelatine on to transfer paper and transferred on to the parts requiring
decorating; or the same designs may be lithographed on to paper inade translucent
with varnish and placed over the glass. I then cover the printed paper with glass
the same size as that on which the photographic transparencies have been printed,
then the edges of the two slicets of glass are cemented together.
Or I take a finished photograph which has been printed on thin sensitized paper
and I lithograph on the back of the finished photograph with oil, water or aniline
colours or coloured gelatine. To describe this process clearly, I print on the back
of the photograph on paper with light blue. When dry it is ready to be varnished,
which varnish I prefer to force into the paper under hydraulic, atmospheric or air
pressure in a closed vessel, and when thus treated pass the same betwixt two
rollers to remove excess of varnish. When dry it is placed betwixt two sheets of
ga-s, the edges of which are cemented together. When exposed to the light it
appears as if printed on blue glass.
Or the photograph is printed on thin sensitized paper and lithographed on the
back with light blue or it may be lithographed on the face side, or it may be
lithographed both on the back and front sides with suitable tints of light blue,
which may be varnished or unvarnished as required, then placed betwixt two
sheets of glass and the two edges cemented together. When exp selt, the light
it appears to have been photographed on light blue glass, and in this manner any
colour or design may be produced.

page_text: Or a sheet of glass may be printed upon with a design by placing it upon a sheet
of india-rubber, and the figure or design moulded in india-rubber is coloured and
pressed on to the transparent glass photograph.
Or coloured stars, wreaths or various designs are formed on stone and lithographed
in any colour on to thin glazed paper, then varnished and placed round or over the
translucent photograph.
Or a transparent photograph is taken on glass of a sea harbour, and on a second
sheet of glass a tian-parent photograph is taken of a ship or ships, larger than
could be taken on the first glass, which is made slightly opaque. This second glass
I place on the front side, which shows the ship or ships as on the water, over which
any colour may be transferred on to the transparent photograph or photographs,
as before described to produce a coloured transparent photograph; or a sheet of
coloured gelatine may be placed on the front or back side of the transparent
photograph and enclosed betwixt sheets of glass and cemented together.
Or I take a transparent photograph of a village, town or residence of a person,
or of the surrounding country to form a back ground of a picture. On a second
sheet of glass I take a transparent photograph of a person larger in proportion
than could be taken on the back ground. Over the back ground where I intend to
place the tran-parent photo,raph of the person I mark out with tracing paper
taken from the photograph the form of the person, and I remove this part of the
film to the clear glass, and the photograph of the person, which is larger in proportion
then the back ground, is placed over it. Or the back ground may remain as a
transparent photograph and a piece of translucent coloured or uncoloured paper,
glass, gelatine or tale. forming a contrast with the hack ground, is cut out and
plced against the back ground and the transparent photograph of the person on
the second glass is placed over it. I have med transparent glass photographs but
I accomplish almost the same thing with two translucent paper photographs treated
in the same manner as those on the glass, so that a likeness of a person and the
back ground of any persons' home is taken in different proportions, without the
person having to go to the place forming the back ground to be taken, and this
applies to any photograph with back views which may be translucent or not.
Or a finished transparent or translucent photographic picture is treated as
described and is enclosed or surrounded with a rim of china, earthenware, terra
coita, or glass so that the transparent or translucent photograph is placed betwixt
two sheets of glass and forms a disk, like that of a plate, and the china, earthen-
ware, terra cotta, or glass forms the rim and is cemented to the same with glass
cement.
The gelatine sheets I prefer to use are made of the best of animal substances,
either made transparent, opal or opaque; or the gelatine is produced from ivory
dust boiled down, and I produce it in any colour or thickness, or printed with any
design. Then 1 cont over one or both sides with varnish, and when dry to make
it waterproof give the gelatine shect a cost of fine oil dissolved in alcohol or
turpentine, and it also may be treated with positive collodion for a photographic
picture. Or paper may be made translucent with varnish and then treated with
gelatine. Or I print in any colour or design upon the sheet gelatine, or stain or
varnish the same with coloured lac, sandarac, shellae, arabic or other gum.
These improvements have reference to making windows in imitation of stained
glass, or making designs to represent cut or embossed glass either concave, convex
or any other form, or for ornamenting glass shades or glass ware, also for hall and
street lamps, transparent and translucent pictures for suspending, screens, panels,
partitions, doors, glass stands, signs, advertisements, interior and exterior of buildings
and for useful and ornamental purposes, thus making transparent and translucent
photographs adapted for many useful purposes, representing the richest of figures
and designs which may be applied to any purpose by being enlarged or reduced as
circumstances require. 1 take for instance the design of a head-stone tablet for a
grave with a photograph of the person, name, inscription and an appropriate verse

page_text: which I arrange with printers' type, with any design of border, or the same may be
printed on any design of embossed or pierced paper, and the whole is photographed
and enlarged by the ordinary method of producing photographic transparencies on
glass, of a size suitable for a tablet, and on the back of the transparent photograph
place a sheet of translucent paper or gelatine sheet, which I cover with a sheet
of glass, and the edges of the two sheets of glass are cemented together. A flat
stone, marble, wood, or composition is cut or formed to any design, like the opening
of a picture frame and the transparent or translucent glass tablet cemented in.

1, GEORGE RYDILL, of 52 Chancery Lane, in the County of Middlesex, do hereby
declare the nature of my invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN TREATING PHOTOGRAPHIC
TRANSPARENCIES OR TRANSFERS SO AS TO REPRESENT STAINED GLASS," 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 the method of mounting photographic transparencies or
transfers in connection with coloured films, the whole being protected by sheets of
glass.
The following description shows various ways of carrying out the invention.
My improvements consist in taking a photographic transparency (produced by
the wet or dry process) of a person, landscape, work of art or design, enlarged or
reduced to any size I may require, and when finished as a photographic transparency
on ordinary plain glass 1 coat over the photo̟raphic picture film with warm stained
or coloured gelatine, representing any colour or colours. When the gelatine is dry
I varnish it with a solution of resin dissolved in alcohol or with dissolved shellac or
lac or sandarac in spirit or other varnish, when the vanish may be coated with
dissolved pine oil. When dry I place a sheet of plain glass at the back and cement
the edges of the two sheets of glass together with ground glass, dissolved mastic in
spirit and dissolved isinglass. If the gelatine be coloured with magenta, when the
transparent photograph is exposed to the light it will show as if the transparent
photograph picture or design were in coloured glass. By treating and colouring
gelatine in this manner I am enabled to produce any colour or colours, and some of
which are not now produced in the manufacture of glass and which are adapted for
useful and ornamental purposes.
Or dissolved resin, lac, sandarac, isinglass or other gums or gelatine are dissolved
and coloured with indigo, oil, water, aniline or mineral colours and the transparent
photograph is coated over the film side, or it may be coated on both sides, either
varnished or left unvarnished, and placed betwixt two sheets of glass and cemented
together.
Or I take coloured thin highly glazed paper, or the colour or colours may be
lithographed on to the surface of the paper in oil, water or aniline colours, either
plain or in design and I make the paper translucent by passing it through oil an
then through varnish or through varnish alone. Or I pass the paper through

page_text: coloured varnish. If aniline coloured is used I mix the colour or colours with
alcohol or spirit, adding a little lac or sandarac and then mix the same with varnish,
by which means I produce any colour of transparent paper. In order to describe
this treatment clearly, I take a stained paper or a yellow coloured lithographed,
bank post, or thin Japanese fibre translucent paper. This I cut to the size of a
transparent photograph and I place it over the back of such photograph, which may
be varnished or not. I then take a sheet of glass the same size as the transparent
photograph and it place it on the back of the paper. 1 then cement the edges of the
two sheets of glass together with ground glass and glass cement. When exposed to
the light the transparent photograph has the appearance of being photographed on
to yellow glass, which has a pleasing contrast with the colour of the transparent
photographic picture or design. Transparent photographs, pictures or designs so
treated are produced having the appearance as if photographed on to coloured glass.
Though the light is but little impaired, it cannot be seen through. Or instead of
translucent paper I place any colour of gelatine sheet, talc, or thin coloured or
uncoloured parchment betwixt the transparent photograph and the back glass, and
I then cement the edges of the two sheets of glass together.
Or I print or lithograph any suitable design in one or more colours to form a back
ground for a transparent photograph on transparent paper or sheet gelatine to
represent drapery, landscape, clouds or any figure or design to suit the figure cr
subject of the transparent photograph.
Or I take a sheet of yellow translucent paper or a yellow gelatine sheet which I
put on the front side of a transparent photograph, and on the back side of the
transparent photograph I place a sheet of translucent blue paper or gelatine shect,
and I enclose the transparent photograph and the two sheets of coloured paper or
gelatine sheets etwixt two sheets of gas. I then cement the edges of the three
sheets of glass together, or 1 fix them in a metal frame. On the front side of the
glass will appear yellow and on the back side it will appear to be blue, but when
placed to the light in a window frame or suspended it shows a green colour. Or
the back glass may be coated with opaque varnish.
Or I place on the back side of a thin sheet of opal, ground or plain glass a blue
translucent sheet of paper or a blue gelatine sheet, round the margin of which is
printed any design of a coloured border and I place the transparent photograph,
figure or design over the plain part of the coloured paper or gelatine sheet, and the
clear glass round the transparent photograph, figure or design is placed over the
border, and the edges of the two sheets of glass are cemented together for glazing,
or enclosed in a metal frame, and when exposed to the light the transparent photo-
graph will show a clear blue and the bordering will show any colour or colours or
design it may have been printed. In this manner by varying the colour the trans-
parent photograph may be made to appear as if printed on any coloured glass which
the paper or gelatine sheet may be coloured; or the border may be printed, pierced
and coloured to any design.
My improvements also refer to producing transparent photographs in various
colours on glass. After I have produced a transparent photograph as a finished

or any number of colours in oil, water colours, coloured gelatine or aniline colours
to represent the features of a person, colour of dress or ornaments. Should it be a

exactly over the back of the tran-parent photograph on glass it has been printed
for, to produce a coloured transparent picture. It is then run over with a roller to
remove all air bubbles; then the paper is raised which leaves the printed colours
standing exactly over the transparent photograph. The size is washed off and the
picture rolled down. When dry it is varnished, and when the varnish is dry 1 place
a sheet of glass on the back and the two sheets of glass are cemented together with

page_text: ground glass cement or paper and placed in the window frame or enclosed in a
metal frame.
'
Or I take a photographic print and after an exact copy is etched on to zinc or
engraved on to metal, wood, or transferred on to stone, I print or lithograph in oil,
water or aniline colours, which may be mixed with warin or cold gelatine, on to
transfer paper and when the printed matter, figure or design is printed, I coat the
printing with gum. When it is dry I pass the same through water and place it on
the glass and roll it over to press out all air bubbles and make it even; then the
paper is raised, the starch or size from the tran-fer paper washed off from the
picture or design, and rolled down. When dry I warm the glass and pour over the
printing a solution of warin uncoloured or coloured gelatine. If printed in one
colour colour the gelatine with water or aniline colours, or other colours that will
form a suitable contrast, for instance pink or any other colour. When the gelatine
is dry I varnish it over, then I place over the back a sheet of glass and cement tho
two edges together. Or the glass may be varnished and when it is almost dry I
place the printed matter, figure or design which has been printed on transfer paper
on to the varnished glass, slightly damping the printing. When it is rolled down
I remove the paper, wash oil the starch or size, and when dry pass over it a
solution of warm gelatine. When it is dry I varnish it and enclose the same
betwixt two sheets of glass.
Or I print a transparent photograph on to coloured glass, which is treated on tho
opposite side of the transparent photographic printing with hydrofluoric acid, the

more distinctly. The acid is washed off and the film or printed side of the
transparent photograph is covered over with a sheet of glass, then the edges of the
two sheets are cemented together. Coloured translucent paper is cheaper than
coloured glass and protects the photograph from the sun.
When a number of transparent photographs, figures or designs are printed on a
large sheet of glass, which is not convenient to print and develop and fix at one

intermediate spaces on the glass have to be made up with suitable ornamental
designs, such printings or designs are printed with oil, water or aniline colours or

appears as if printed on blue glass.
Or the photograph is printed on thin sensitized paper and lithographed on the
back with light blue or it may be lithographed on the face side, or it may bo
lithographed both on the back and front sides with suitable tints of light blue,
which may be varnished or unvarnished as required, then placed betwixt two sheets
of glass and the two edges cemented together. When exposed to the light it
appears to have been photographed on light blue glass, and in this manner any
colour or design may be produced.
Or a sheet of glass may be printed upon with a design by placing it upon a
sheet of india-rubber, and the figure or design moulded in india-rubber is coloured
and pressed on to the transparent glass photograph.

page_text: Or coloured stars, wreaths or various designs are formed on stone and lithographed
in any colour on to thin glazed paper, then varnished and placed round or over the
translucent photograph.
Or a transparent photograph is taken on glass of a sea harbour, and on a second
sheet of glass a transparent photograph is taken of a ship or ships, larger than
could be taken on the first glass, which is made slightly opaque. This second glass
I place on the front side, which shows the ship or ships as on the water, over
which any colour may be transferred on to the transparent photograph or
photographs, as before described to produce a coloured transparent photograph; or
a sheet of coloured gelatine may be placed on the front or back side of the
transparent photograph and enclosed betwixt sheets of glass and cemented
together.
Or I take a transparent photograph of a village, town or residence of a person,
or of the surrounding country to form a back ground of a picture. On a second
sheet of glass I take a transparent photograph of a person larger in proportion than
could be taken on the back ground. Over the background where I intend to place
the transparent photograph of the person I mark out with tracing paper taken
from the photograph the form of the person, and 1 remove this part of the film to
the clear glass, and the photograph of the person, which is larger in proportion
than the back ground, is placed over it. Or the back ground may remain as a
transparent photgraph and piece of translucent coloured coloured paper,
glass, gelatine or talc, forming a contrast with the back ground, is cut out and
placed against the back ground and the transparent photograph of the person on
the second glass is placed over it. I have named transparent glass photograplis
but I accomplish almost the same thing with two translucent paper photographs
treated in the same manner as those on the glass, so that a likeness of a person
and the back ground of any persons' home is taken in different proportions, without
the person having to go to the place forming the back ground to be taken, and this
applies to any photograph with back views which may be translucent or not.
Or a finished transparent or translucent photographic picture is treated as
described and is enclosed or surrounded with a riin of china, earthenware, terra
cotta, or glass so that the transparent or translucent photograph is placed betwixt
two sheets of glass and forms a disk, like that of a plate, and the chini, earthenware,
terra cotta, or glass forms the rim and is cemented to the same with glass cement.
The gelatine sheets I prefer to use are made of the best of animal substances,
either made transparent, o; al or opaque; or the gelatine is produced from ivory
dust boiled down, and I produce it in any colour or thickness, or printed with any
design. Then I coat over one or both sides with varnish, and when dry to make it
waterproof I give the gelatine sheet a crat of pine oil dissolved in a'cohol or
turpentine, and it also may be treated with positive collodion for a photographic
picture. Or paper may be made translucent with varnish and then treated with
gelatine. Or I print in any colour or design upon the sheet gelatine, or stain or
varnish the same with coloured lac, sandarac, shellac, arabic or other gum.
These improvements Iave reference to making windows in imitation of stained
glass, or inaking designs to represent cut or clossed glass either concave, convex
or any other form, or for ornamenting glass slades or glass ware, also for hall and
street lamps, transparent and translucent pictures for suspending, screens, panel,
partitions, doors, glass stands, signs, advertisements, interior and exterior of
buildings and for useful and ornamental purposes, thus making transparent and
translucent photographs adapted for many useful purposes, representing the richest
of figures and designs which may be applied to any purpose by being enlarged or
reduced as circumstances require. I take for instance the design of a head-stone
talet for a grave with a photograph of the person, name, inscription and an
appro; rate verse which I arrange with printers' type, with any design of border,
or the same may be printed on any design of embossed or pierced paper, and the
wole is photographed and enlarged by the ordinary method of producing

page_text: photographic transparencies on glass, of a size suitable for a tablet, and on the back
of the transparent photograph I place a sheet of translucent paper or gelatino slicet,
which I cover with a sheet of glass, and the edges of the two sheets of glass are
cemented together. A flat stone, marble, wood or composition is cut or formed to
any design, like the opening of a picture frame and the transparent or translucent
glass tablet cemented in.
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:-
The method of mounting photographic transparencies or transfers in connection
with coloured transparent or translucent films and coloured glass the whole being
protected by sheets of glass substantially as hereinbefore described.
