page_text: I, HORACE FREDERICK FULLER, of St. Heliers, Jersey, Artist, do hereby declare
the nature of my said Invention, 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 a novel device of special utility to artists and others in
outdoor sketching or in sketching elsewhere for permitting of the various colors
tints or textures of the different parts of a landscape or other scene or representation
in colors being readily matched and taken note of on a pencilled outline sketch of
the scene or representation, so that a finished sketch or representation may be
subsequently produced in colors from the notes then taken.
The Invention consists essentially in a device on the surface of which are pourtrayed
the various primary colors, and any or all required combinations thereof and any or
all required tints or textures in adjacent sections or in graduated or shaded sections,
in such a manner as that the colors tints or textures of any natural or artificial object
or representation may be readily matched by holding the device in the line of sight
therewith and turning it about until that part of the edge or periphery thereof having
the corresponding color tint or texture is in the line of sight. Each of such sections
or each part of the device having a different color, tint or texture, is marked with a
letter, number or other reference mark of any suitable or required character, so that
by marking the parts of the sketch with the reference marks representing the
particular colors, tints or textures such parts should be, all necessary notes may be
most readily taken for the subsequent use of the artist in producing the finished
colored sketch or painting.
In order that the exact colors, tints or textures may be reproduced in the finished
colored sketch or painting, there is also marked on the device an indexed specification
thereof and of the combinations of colors or means used in the productions of the
correspondingly indicated segments of color pourtrayed thereon.
The device may be of any suitable shape, it only being material that every different
color, tint or texture pourtrayed thereon shall be capable of being brought in juxta-
position in the line of sight with the object being viewed, so that the color of the latter
can be readily matched by turning the device until that part of its edge or periphery
bearing a corresponding color is in the line of sight therewith. Its most handy form
is that of a flat fablet or card (which may be open in the centre) and along the edges

page_text: of both sides of which the said colors, tints or textures may be pourtrayed, the said
reference characters and indexed specification being stamped or otherwise marked on
the face of the tablet.
It will be seen that this device dispenses with the necessity of carrying a paint or
color-box in sketching expeditions, and provides a means by which all necessary
particulars of quickly changing scenes it may be wished to represent (and for which
there might not be sufficient time to reproduce in the usual manner. by directly
sketching in color) may be taken for the subsequent reproduction thereof in color.
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. As an articlo of manufacture applicable for the purpose stated, the hereinbefore
described improved device.
2. The application and use of the hereinbefore described improved device for the
purpose hereinbefore referred to.
