of the art. Heraldic Work of all kinds. Pedigrees and Coats of Arms

In every style--plain and strong for Parish Libraries, neat and uniform

the Drawing Room Table.
BEMROSE & SONS’
PROCESS OF FAC-SIMILE PRINTING.
The process, briefly described, is as follows. The Instantaneous or
Fac-Simile Printing Ink is made in sticks, to be rubbed like Indian
Ink, as well as in a liquid state in Bottles, price One Shilling each.
The ink should be used on ordinary paper, of a good quality, and for
very elaborate Drawings, Whatman’s drawing paper is recommended. The
paper must be kept free from finger touches and grease; and while the
drawing is in progress, it is well to have a piece of loose paper under
the hand, which serves to keep the paper clean and to try the pen on
after each supply or dip of ink. The lead pencil may be used and left
on the paper, as the strokes will not interfere with the printing; and
the _Ink_ Drawing must on no account be smeared or rubbed with India
Rubber, &c.
For Circulars, Fac-Similes of old MSS., and Commercial purposes, the
ordinary pen will do; but for Drawings, a fine steel pen or crow-quill
should be used.
Drawing or writing executed with the ink should be sent flat, or round
a roller, to Messrs. Bemrose & Sons, who will then print from it any
required number of copies in exact fac-simile.
