Management
of
Paper,
&c.
Stretch
your
paper,
or
whatever
it
may
be,
on
a
frame
or
drawing
board,
then
apply
two
successive
coats
(a
day
between
each)
of
diaphanous
liquor,
and
after
leaving
it
to
dry
for
several
days,
cover
it
with
a
thin
layer
of
very
clear
size,
and
when
dry
it
will
be
in
a
fit
state
to
receive
the
coat
of
varnish
and
the
designs.
2557.
Management
of
Textile
Fabrics.
Silk,
linen,
or
other
stuffs
should
be
more
carefully
stretched,
and
receive
a
thicker
coat
of
size
than
paper
or
parchment;
the
latter
may
be
strained
on
a
drawing
or
any
other
smooth
board,
by
damping
the
sheet,
and
after
pasting
the
edges,
stretching
it
down
while
damp.
Silk,
linen,
and
other
stuffs
require
to
be
carefully
stretched
on
a
suitable
frame.
Whatever
you
use,
take
great
care
to
allow
time
to
dry
before
applying
the
liqueur
diaphane.
2558.
Screens,
&c.,
in
Diaphanie.
All
kinds
of
screens,
lamp
shades
and
glasses,
lanterns,
&c.,
&c.,
may
be
made
in
this
way,
as
heat
will
produce
no
effect
upon
them.
The
transparent
pictures
are
successful,
because
they
may
be
hung
on
a
window
frame
or
removed
at
will,
and
the
window
blinds
are
superior
to
anything
of
that
kind
yet
produced.
2559.
Vitremanie.
Vitremanie
is
a
process
of
imitating
painting
on
glass
similar
to
Diaphanie,
and
Potichomanie
is
a
process
of
like
nature
by
which
glass
plates,
vases,
&c.,
are
made
to
resemble
porclain.
2560.
Decalcomanie.
This
recently
discovered
and
beautiful
art
consists
in
transferring
coloured
drawings
to
glass,
porcelain,
china,
wood,
silk,
furniture,
plaster
of
Paris,
alabaster,
ivory,
paper,
paper
hangings,
windows,
tea
trays,
oil
cloth,
and
all
kinds
of
fancy
articles;
in
short,
materials
of
any
kind,
shape,
or
size,
provided
they
possess
a
smooth
surface,
can
be
decorated
with
Decalcomanie;
the
immediate
result
being
an
exact
resemblance
to
painting
by
hand.
The
art
itself
is
simple
and
ingenious,
and
while
affording
agreeable
occupation
to
ladies,
it
may
be
made
to
serve
many
useful
purposes,
on
account
of
the
numerous
objects
which
will
admit
of
being
thus
ornamented.
