MR. GILLISPIE'S FOR PRINTING

CALICOES.

Mr.WILLIAMGILLISPIE, of Anderfon, near Glasgow, calico-printer, for an improved method and procefs of printing, colouring, or faining, linens, calicoes, or other cloths. Dated April 30, 1799.

The method or procefs which Mr. GILLISPIE invented, is chiefly diftinguished from the method or proceffes already prac tifed in printing cloths, by its enabling the printer, on coloured grounds, to produce figures or fpots, confifting of white, with or without a variety of colour, or coloured figures or fpots; and to place thefe figures or fpots, whether they confift of white, or any colour or colours, upon the goods, in as exact and determinatè a correfpondence of fituation, with regard to each other, as the coloured figures printed on white grounds in the ordinary way. For obtaining which object, inftead of uifing bleached cloths in their fimple whitened ftate, and printing, impreffing, or laying on them, in this ftate, fuch fubftances as are fit for making the particular fpots or figures, meant to be impreffed or reprefented on the faid cloth, capable of being dyed, and of retaining colours; and inftead of printing, impreffing, or laying on the faid cloths, in the faid whitened frate, fuch acids, or other fubftances, as are capable of preferving the particular fpots or figures, fo meant to be impreffed or reprefented on the faid cloths, from being dyed, that is, preventing them from retaining colours, and confequently keeping the faid laft mentioned fpots or figures white. He first, by means of a blotching machine, or by any other convenient method, impregnates the cloths he is to print with a proper mordant or colour-fixing fubftance. He then dries the cloths, and afterwards rinses or otherwife frees them from the gum, or other fuperfluous matter

mixed with the mordant. Then, after again drying and properly smoothing them, he prints, impreffes, or lays on fuch parts of the cloths as he wifhes to remain ultimately white, fome vegetable acid, or other fubftance capable of difcharging the mordant, or of deftroying its effects in fixing colours on the parts fo printed, impreffed, or covered with fuch vegetable acid, or other fubftance. If he wishes to have another colour or other colours in the faid cloth, befides the ground colour and white, then, either before or after laying on the faid acid, or other substance for deftroying the mordant or its effects, he prints, impreffes, or lays on the cloths, fuch other mordant or mordants as may be neceffary and proper for producing, along with the ground colour, and the figures or fpots in white produced in the way above mentioned, when the cloths are dyed, a variety of colours, or fpots or figures, on the part fo printed, impreffed, or covered with fuch other mordant or mordants. If he does not wish to produce any white figures or spots on the cloth, he omits the procefs above detailed for this purpose, namely, the printing, impreffing, or laying on the cloths fome vegetable or other acid, or other fubftance capable of deftroying the mordant, or the effects of the mordant, with which they are at firft impregnated; and, in this cafe, he prints, impreffes, or lays on the cloths the other mordant or mordants above mentioned; which produce, when the cloths are dyed, a variety of colours or figures on the parts fo printed, impreffed, or covered with the other or laft-mentioned mordant or mordants. The number and variety of spots and figures may be thus multiplied and varied at pleasure, by the application of appropriate or correfponding mordants. After the cloths have undergone the operations above mentioned, in the different cafes above detailed, they are dried, and then rinfed and cleaned, and afterwards dyed, or the colours raised, in the ufual or common way.

The following is a detailed account of an operation of printing by this method. After the cloths have been whitened, bleached, or fitted as ufual for printing, they are run through a blotching machine, or otherwife impregnated with a mordant or colouring fixing fubftance; fuch mordant being varied, according to the particular colour intended to be afterwards dyed, or brought up, by means of proper dying stuffs, well known to printers. The cloths are next to be dried, and then rinfed through warm water, with or without

other

other ingredients commonly used for cleaning them from the gum, or other fuperfluous matter mixed with the mordant. They are then dried and calendered, or otherwise smoothed and prepared, fo as to fit them for the application of the blocks or plates for printing. He then prints, impreffes, or lays on fuch parts of the cloths whereon he wishes to produce white fpots or figures, a difcharging acid, or proper fubftance, thickened properly with gum, or other fit fubftance; and, if no other colour is wanted befides the groundcolour and white fpots or figures, the goods are dried, then rinfed, and afterwards dyed as ufual. If other colours, or coloured figures or fpots, are wanted, then, before removing the goods from the table or prefs, the proper mordant or mordants for fuch other colours are printed, impreffed, or laid on those parts of the cloths where fuch colours, or coloured figures or fpots are wanted, with proper blocks or plates, fo as to make these other cofours, or coloured figures or fpots, correfpond with the white fpots or 'figures that will arife from the application of the difcharging acid or fubftance. Sometimes it is expedient, before printing, impreffing, or laying on the difcharging acid or fubftance on the parts of the cloths to

which it is to be applied, to print, imprefs, or lay the other mordant or mordants on thofe parts of the cloth where the other intended colours, or coloured spots or figures, are meant to be impreffed or reprefented, which may be occafionally varied, as circumftances may require. In either way, an exact correspondence of fituation is obtained between the white and coloured fpots or figures. If no other white fpots or figures are wanted, the use of the difcharging acid or fubftance is omitted. When the goods have remained a fufficient time to fix or dry, after the operation, they are rinfed and cleaned, and afterwards dyed with the ufual materials, and in the ufual way fitted for raifing the colours which are produced by the mordant or mordants with which they have been impregnated, impreffed, or printed. When the dying is finished, they are to be rinsed in warm water with bran, or other cleaning material; and, in many cafes, it is neceffary and useful, both for clearing the white fpots or figures, and reducing the colours to the intended fhade, to pass the cloths through a proper quantity of oxygenated muriatic acid, or its compounds; after which, rinfing in clean water will make the goods fit for drying and finishing.

MONTHLY RETROSPECT OF THE PROGRESS OF THE

FINE ARTS.

MR. commences the year with and the colours fo gaudy that they fwear at

a Second Set of Views on the Kilkenny Lakes in Ireland, from Pictures by Mr. Walmefley, an artift whofe characteristic tafte we have had frequent occafions to admire. His works are peculiarly diftinguished by boldness and breadth; and, in these prints, thefe marks are transferred from the canvas to the copper with fidelity and fpirit.

The great objections we have had to many works in aqua-tinta are, the foliage of the trees being great blots; the foregrounds being bald and unpicturesque; MONTHLY MAG. NO. LIII.,

each other. From the two first of these faults these prints are quite free; but we think the greens and yellows, in one or two of them, might, without injury to the effect, be a little foftened; or, in the artist's phrafe, kept down.

The places delineated we have never feen; but, from the general accuracy of the artist, it may fairly be prefumed they are accurate. The ftation of the draughtf man feems to be generally happily chofen. This feries is to comprize Twenty Select Views, from the fame artist.

Mr.

Mr. JUKES has lately published Twelve Aqua-tinta Views in India. Thefe views are in themselves extremely picturefque, and at this time peculiarly intérefting, as they are many of them delineations of fome of the most difficult and dangerous paffes in the route of the British army, under the command of Lord Cornwallis, in its march to Seringapatam, being copied from defigns made in that expedition by Mr. Ambury, an officer of the Bengal artillery.

In thefe fcenes we contemplate with pleasure and conscious pride the arduous achievements of our gallant countrymen in India.

The prints are inscribed to the Marquis Cornwallis.

The first number delineates the moft ftriking parts of Gloucester Cathedral; in which great attention is paid to the minuter parts of thofe delicate fubjects which are difplayed in what has been ufually denominated the gothic architecture. The author very properly obferves, that the term is improper, and declares himfelf determined not to blend the Saxon, Norman, and Saracenic architecture, but to diftinguish each feparate ftyle by its proper

name.

The fecond number difplays a curious fpecimen of our ancient British grandeur, viz. all the different works which conftitute a complete ANCIENT BARONIAL CASTLE.

It is propofed that each number fhould completely terminate the fubjects it relates to, lo as to form a complete work of itfelf.

The plan of this work is, by copperplate engravings, after accurate drawings made on the fpot, and by historical and ac.curate defcriptions, appropriate anecdotes, traditions, applicable literary compofitions in verfe and profe, &c.; to prefent and explain a felection from all parts of the kingdom of the moft picturefque and interefting views of caftles, abbeys, cathe

drals, palaces, manfions, ruins, and fuch other fpecimens of art, both of recent and remote date, as are beft calculated to gratify the scientific tafte of the antiquary; in addition to which, fuch of the more ftriking beauties and extraordinary features of nature, as have attracted particular admiration, or may be deemed worthy the contemplation of the curious, will occafionally embellish its pages.

Each number will contain ten views, which may be framed and glazed as articles of furniture; preferved as additions to the cabinet collections of the curious, or as an easily portable pocket companion on a tour; as each number will contain fubjects that in no inftance are more distant than a morning ride from each other.
