Instructions.
Thoroughly
clean
and
free
from
grease
the
article
to
be
decorated;
then,
having
cut
off
the
white
paper
margin
of
the
drawing,
dip
one
of
the
brushes
into
the
transfer
varnish,
and
give
it
a
very
light
coat,
being
especially
careful
to
cover
the
whole
of
the
coloured
portion,
but
not
to
allow
it
to
touch
the
blank
paper;
then
lay
the
drawing,
face
downwards,
on
the
object
to
be
ornamented,
taking
care
to
place
it
at
once
where
it
is
to
remain,
as
it
would
be
spoilt
by
moving.
If
the
varnish,
on
its
first
application,
is
too
liquid,
allow
the
picture
to
remain
for
about
ten
minutes
to
set.
Moisten
the
cloth
with
water,
and
lay
it
gently
on
the
drawing
which
has
been
previously
laid
in
its
place
on
the
object
to
be
decorated;
then
rub
it
over
with
the
paper-knife
or
roller,
so
as
to
cause
the
print
to
adhere
in
every
part;
this
done,
remove
the
cloth,
well
soak
the
paper
with
a
camel-hair
brush
dipped
in
water,
and
immediately
after
lift
the
paper
by
one
corner,
and
gently
draw
it
off.
